Ezekiel 14:17

Jerusalem Will Not Be Spared

¹⁶ even if these three men were in it, as I live”—the declaration of the Lord God—“they could not deliver their sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the land would be desolate. ¹⁷ “Or if I bring a sword against that land and say: Let a sword pass through it, so that I wipe out both man and animal from it, ¹⁸ even if these three men were in it, as I live”—the declaration of the Lord God—“they could not deliver their sons or daughters, but they alone would be delivered.
