This passage is cited [[Comment on Creation/EC/TE - Bible implications#lit|here]] as "accepting" events of early Genesis "as literally true", presumably because three real people, including Noah from early Genesis, are mentioned as paragons of righteousness. We learn that this reasoning is incorrect from Jesus' parables: clearly fictitious people would have served the same purpose.

KJV
14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
16 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
17 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
18 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
19 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:
20 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.

We learn that this reasoning is incorrect from Jesus' parables: clearly fictitious people would have served the same purpose. See comment here.
