Ezekiel 14:20-22
Amplified Bible
20 even though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in the land, as I live,” says the Lord God, “they could not save either their son or their daughter; they would save only themselves by their righteousness [that is, their right-standing with God—their moral and spiritual integrity].”
21 For thus says the Lord God, “How much more when I send My four severe judgments against Jerusalem—sword, famine, predatory beasts, and virulent disease—to cut off man and animal from it!(A) 22 Yet, behold, survivors will be left in it [escaping the judgments], both sons and daughters. Listen carefully, they are going to come out to you [in Babylon] and you will see their [wicked] conduct and [despicable] actions; then you will be at peace in regard to the disaster which I have brought against Jerusalem for everything which I have brought on it [has been deserved].

Ezekiel 14:20-22
New International Version
20 as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, they could save neither son nor daughter. They would save only themselves by their righteousness.(A)
21 “For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem my four dreadful judgments(B)—sword(C) and famine(D) and wild beasts and plague(E)—to kill its men and their animals!(F) 22 Yet there will be some survivors(G)—sons and daughters who will be brought out of it.(H) They will come to you, and when you see their conduct(I) and their actions, you will be consoled(J) regarding the disaster I have brought on Jerusalem—every disaster I have brought on it.
