KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were living there — and we're talking about some of the most righteous people ever — God says they could only save themselves. Their goodness wouldn't be enough to rescue their kids or anyone else, just their own lives.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Even the most righteous people can only save themselves — we each have to choose our own path with God.
