Verse 20
Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it ,.... Who are again mentioned by name, as in Ezekiel 14:14 ; and are the three men referred to in Ezekiel 14:16 ;
as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter ; not so much as an only son, or an only daughter, no, not even a single child: the plural number is used before, as in Ezekiel 14:16 ; here the singular, to show how resolutely determined the Lord was upon the destruction of the land; that even the prayers of the best of men among them should not prevail with him to save a single person, no, not a single infant: they
shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness ; See Gill on Ezekiel 14:14 .
