Ezekiel 14:16-18

Even if these three men were in it, as I live” — the declaration of the Lord GOD  — “they could not rescue their sons or daughters. They alone would be rescued, but the land would be desolate.  “Or suppose I bring a sword  against that land and say, ‘Let a sword pass through it,’ so that I wipe out both people and animals from it.  Even if these three men were in it, as I live” — the declaration of the Lord GOD  — “they could not rescue their sons or daughters, but they alone would be rescued.
