«Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast: / Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.»
«These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.»
