What does Ezekiel 14:20 mean?

Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were living here, as surely as I live, says the Lord God, they wouldn’t be able to save even their own sons or daughters. They’d only be able to save themselves by doing what’s right. Ezekiel 14:20 - Modern Text Bible

(God is saying that even the most righteous people couldn’t save anyone else from the consequences of the nation’s wrongdoing—only themselves.)
