Yehezkiel 3:21

3:21 However, if you warn the righteous person not to sin, and he ¹  does not sin, he will certainly live because he was warned, and you will have saved your own life.”

Yehezkiel 14:14

14:14 Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, ²  and Job, were in it, they would save only their own lives by their righteousness, declares the sovereign Lord.

Yehezkiel 14:20

14:20 Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, they could not save their own son or daughter; they would save only their own lives by their righteousness.

Yehezkiel 33:5

33:5 He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, so he is responsible for himself. ³  If he had heeded the warning, he would have saved his life.

Yehezkiel 33:9

33:9 But if you warn the wicked man to change his behavior, ⁴  and he refuses to change, ⁵  he will die for his iniquity, but you have saved your own life.

[3:21]  ¹ tn Heb “the righteous man.”

[14:14]  ² sn Traditionally this has been understood as a reference to the biblical Daniel, though he was still quite young when Ezekiel prophesied. One wonders if he had developed a reputation as an intercessor by this point. For this reason some prefer to see a reference to a ruler named Danel, known in Canaanite legend for his justice and wisdom. In this case all three of the individuals named would be non-Israelites, however the Ugaritic Danel is not known to have qualities of faith in the Lord that would place him in the company of the other men. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:447-50.

[33:5]  ³ tn Heb “his blood will be on him.”

[33:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “from his way to turn from it.”

[33:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he does not turn from his way.”
