Ezekiel 14:16

neither sons nor daughters There is no support in the words for the idea of Hävernick that the three names, Noah, Daniel and Job form a climax, inasmuch as Noah saved his children, Daniel only his three fellow-exiles, while Job could deliver neither son nor daughter, though every week he interceded and made atonement for them. This idea is false to the sense of the Book of Job, for Job's children are nowhere represented by the author of the book as having been cut off for their sins, though naturally Job's "friends" put this construction upon their death (ch. Ezekiel 8:4). The prophet does not appear to have in view any historical details in the lives of these three men; he refers to the men themselves as great saints famous in the traditions of his people.
