Book of Job
Book of Ezekiel
Ezekiel 14:12-20 (NRSV) -- [12] The word of the Lord came to me: [13] Mortal, when a land sins against me by acting faithlessly, and I stretch out my hand against it, and break its staff of bread and send famine upon it, and cut off from it human beings and animals, [14] even if Noah, Daniel, and Job, these three, were in it, they would save only their own lives by their righteousness, says the Lord God. [15] If I send wild animals through the land to ravage it, so that it is made desolate, and no one may pass through because of the animals; [16] even if these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord God, they would save neither sons nor daughters; they alone would be saved, but the land would be desolate. [17] Or if I bring a sword upon that land and say, ‘Let a sword pass through the land’, and I cut off human beings and animals from it; [18] though these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord God, they would save neither sons nor daughters, but they alone would be saved. [19] Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath upon it with blood, to cut off humans and animals from it; [20] even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, says the Lord God, they would save neither son nor daughter; they would save only their own lives by their righteousness.
