Unchecked Copy BoxEze 14:15 - “If I were to cause wild beasts to pass through the land and they bereaved it of children and it became desolate so that no one would pass through it because of the beasts,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 14:16 - though these three men were in its midst, as I live,” declares Lord Yahweh, “they could not deliver either their sons or their daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the country would become desolate.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 14:17 - “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,’

Behold, they are going to come forth to you, and you will see their way and actions; then you will be comforted for the calamity which I have brought against Jerusalem for everything which I have brought upon it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 14:23 - “Then they will comfort you when you see their way and actions, so you will know that I have not done in vain all that I did [fn]to it,” declares Lord Yahweh.
