Verses 15-16
If God’s judgment by wild beasts resulted in the depopulation of the land, including the children (cf. Leviticus 26:22; Deuteronomy 32:24), the righteousness of Noah (cf. Genesis 6:9), Daniel (cf. Daniel 6:4-5; Daniel 6:22), and Job (cf. Job 1:1; Job 1:8; Job 2:3) would not deliver even their own family members from divine judgment. God would spare just these men alone. God had spared Noah’s family for his sake (Genesis 6:18), and he had spared Daniel’s friends for his sake (Daniel 1:6-20; Daniel 2:17-18; Daniel 3) and Job’s friends for his sake (Job 42:7-10), but he had not spared Job’s children. Probably the order of these names is climactic. It is not chronological.
