If a country sins:
Ezekiel 14:12-20
12 Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, 13 “Son of man, if a country
sins against Me by committing unfaithfulness, and I stretch out My hand against
it, destroy its supply of bread, send famine against it and cut off from it
both man and beast, 14 even though these three men, Noah, Daniel and Job were
in its midst, by their own righteousness they could only deliver themselves,”
declares the Lord God. 15 “If I were to cause wild beasts to pass through the
land and they depopulated it, and it became desolate so that no one would pass
through it because of the beasts, 16 though these three men were in its midst,
as I live,” declares the Lord God, “they could not deliver either their sons or
their daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the country would be
desolate. 17 Or if I should bring a sword on that country and say, ‘Let the
sword pass through the country and cut off man and beast from it,’ 18 even
though these three men were in its midst, as I live,” declares the Lord God,
“they could not deliver either their sons or their daughters, but they alone
would be delivered. 19 Or if I should send a plague against that country and
pour out My wrath in blood on it to cut off man and beast from it, 20 even
though Noah, Daniel and Job were in its midst, as I live,” declares the Lord
God, “they could not deliver either their son or their daughter. They would
deliver only themselves by their righteousness.”
