Ezekiel 14 tells of how some elders came to consult the prophet but he was not happy to help them because he perceived that they has "set up idols in their hearts... and he told them to repent... turn from their idols and detestable practices... for I will set my face against that man... then you will know that I am the Lord". God then says that he will condemn the prophet who deals with those who have idols in their heart. Then the text goes on to say that the country's judgement is inevitable and not even Noah, Daniel and Job could hinder it! So too such just men could do nothing either to stop wild beasts devouring people, the sword killing or the plague killing too... so it will be when God sends similar judgment and nothing or no-one will be able to hinder him... though there will be a remnant of survivors.
