Ezekiel 14:21
"though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness.”"
Key Reflection
In Ezekiel 14:21, the Lord GOD emphasizes the severity of a coming judgment, stating that even great figures like Noah, Daniel, and Job—known for their righteousness and piety—would be unable to save their children in this dire situation. This would have deeply resonated with the original audience, who were living through a time of significant turmoil and judgment, reminding them of the futility of relying on personal piety alone when divine wrath is unleashed.
