‏ Ezekiel 14:14

v. 14-20: God has many ways to punish a sinful nation. He mentions four main judgments: famine, wild beasts, war, and disease. Each one can destroy both people and animals. Even if Noah, Daniel, or Job were living in the land, their prayers would only save themselves, not others. Their goodness could not stop God’s judgment from falling on the wicked nation. This shows that when God finally decides to punish, even the best people cannot prevent it for everyone else (Leviticus 26:22; Jeremiah 15:1 a).
