Ezekiel 14:14 → Job 1

Ezekiel 14:14 names Job alongside Noah and Daniel as paragons of righteousness, alluding to Job 1:1 where Job is described as תָּם וְיָשָׁר (tam veyashar, "blameless and upright"), one who feared God and turned from evil. Job's righteousness in his narrative was tested but vindicated, and he even offered sacrifices on behalf of his children (Job 1:5). Ezekiel's striking claim is that even Job's intercessory righteousness—a man who habitually covered his children with sacrificial prayer—could not deliver sons or daughters from the coming judgment on Judah. The allusion underscores that the severity of national sin has exceeded the capacity of even the most exemplary individual piety to shield others.
