Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Noah: Ezekiel 14:14, Ezekiel 14:16
Daniel: Daniel, says Abp. Newcombe, was "taken captive in the third year of Jehoiakim - Daniel 1:1. After this, Jehoiakam reigned eight years - 2 Kings 23:36. And this prophecy, as appears from Ezekiel 8:1, was uttered in the sixth year of Jehoiachin's captivity, who succeeded Jehoiakim, and reigned only three months - 2 Kings 24:6, 2 Kings 24:8. Therefore, at this time, Daniel had been fourteen years in captivity;" and was, as is generally supposed, about thirty years of age.
by: Ezekiel 18:20, Ezekiel 18:22, Job 5:19-24, Psalms 33:18, Psalms 33:19, Isaiah 3:10, Hosea 10:12, Zephaniah 2:3, Acts 10:35, 1 John 2:29, 1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:10

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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;
Ezekiel 14:16- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jeremiah 14:0; Jeremiah 15:0 is a remarkable parallel to this prophecy. Here, as elsewhere, Ezekiel is commissioned to deliver to the exiles the same message which Jeremiah conveys to the inhabitants of Judaea. The answer discovers the nature of the questions which had been expressed or implied.
(1) Can God cast out a people who are holy unto Himself?
(2) Is it just to punish them with utter desolation?
The prophet answers:
(1) That when a people is so corrupt as to call down national judgment, individual piety shall save none but the individuals themselves.
(2) The corrupt condition of the people shall be made so manifest, that none will question the justice of God in dealing thus severely with them.
Ezekiel 14:12
Or, âWhen a landâ - the case is first put in a general form, and then ism brought with increased force home to Jerusalem - âsinneth against me by trespassing grievously,â and I stretch out âmine hand upon it,â and break the staff of bread âthereof,â and send famine âupon it andâ cut off âman and beast: though these three menâ etc.
Ezekiel 14:14
Noah, Daniel, and Job - Three striking instances of men who, for their integrity, were delivered from the ruin which fell upon others. Some have thought it strange that Daniel, a contemporary, and still young, should have been classed with the two ancient worthies. But the account of him Daniel 2:0 shows, that by this time Daniel was a very remarkable man (compare Ezekiel 28:3), and the introduction of the name of a contemporary gives force and life to the illustration. There is in the order in which the names occur a kind of climax. Noah did not rescue the guilty world, but did carry forth with him his wife, sons, and sonsâ wives. Daniel raised only a few, but he did raise three of his countrymen with him to honor. To Job was spared neither son nor daughter.
Ezekiel 14:22, Ezekiel 14:23
Ye shall be comforted ... - By a truer estimate of the dispensations of the Almighty. This visitation will be recognized as inevitable and just.
