Kejadian 18:24-33

18:24 What if there are fifty godly people in the city? Will you really wipe it out and not spare ¹  the place for the sake of the fifty godly people who are in it? 18:25 Far be it from you to do such a thing – to kill the godly with the wicked, treating the godly and the wicked alike! Far be it from you! Will not the judge ²  of the whole earth do what is right?” ³ 

18:26 So the Lord replied, “If I find in the city of Sodom fifty godly people, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”

18:27 Then Abraham asked, “Since I have undertaken to speak to the Lord ⁴  (although I am but dust and ashes), ⁵  18:28 what if there are five less than the fifty godly people? Will you destroy ⁶  the whole city because five are lacking?” ⁷  He replied, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”

18:29 Abraham ⁸  spoke to him again, ⁹  “What if forty are found there?” He replied, “I will not do it for the sake of the forty.”

18:30 Then Abraham ¹⁰  said, “May the Lord not be angry ¹¹  so that I may speak! ¹²  What if thirty are found there?” He replied, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”

18:31 Abraham ¹³  said, “Since I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty are found there?” He replied, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the twenty.”

18:32 Finally Abraham ¹⁴  said, “May the Lord not be angry so that I may speak just once more. What if ten are found there?” He replied, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”

18:33 The Lord went on his way ¹⁵  when he had finished speaking ¹⁶  to Abraham. Then Abraham returned home. ¹⁷
