Genesis 18:17-23

17And Jehovah saidH559, Shall I hide from AbrahamH85 that which I do; 18seeing that AbrahamH85 shall surely becomeH1961 a greatH1419 and mightyH6099 nationH1471, and all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 shall beH1961 blessedH1288 in him? 19For I have knownH3045 him, to the end that he may commandH6680 his children and his householdH1004 after him, that they may keepH8104 the wayH1870 of Jehovah, to do righteousnessH6666 and justiceH4941; to the end that Jehovah may bringH935 upon AbrahamH85 that which he hath spokenH1696 of him. 20And Jehovah saidH559, Because the cryH2201 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 is great, and because their sinH2403 is veryH3966 grievous; 21I will goH935 down now, and seeH7200 whether they have done altogether according to the cryH6818 of it, which is comeH935 unto me; and if not, I will knowH3045.

22And the menH376 turnedH6437 from thence, and went toward SodomH5467: but AbrahamH85 stoodH5975 yetH5750 before Jehovah. 23And AbrahamH85 drewH5066 near, and saidH559, Wilt thou consume the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563?
