Genesis 18:23-33

23And AbrahamH85 drewH5066 near, and saidH559, Wilt thou consume the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563? 24Peradventure there are fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 within the cityH5892: wilt thou consume and not spare the placeH4725 for the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 that are therein? 25That beH1961 farH2486 from thee to do after this mannerH1697, to slay the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563, that so the righteousH6662 should beH1961 as the wickedH7563; that beH1961 farH2486 from thee: shall not the JudgeH8199 of all the earthH776 do rightH4941? 26And Jehovah saidH559, If I findH4672 in SodomH5467 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 within the cityH5892, then I will spare all the placeH4725 for their sakeH5668. 27And AbrahamH85 answered and saidH559, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speakH1696 unto the LordH136, who am but dustH6083 and ashesH665: 28peradventure there shall lackH2637 fiveH2568 of the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662: wilt thou destroyH7843 all the cityH5892 for lackH2637 of fiveH2568? And he saidH559, I will not destroyH7843 it, if I findH4672 there fortyH705 and fiveH2568. 29And he spake unto him yetH5750 againH5750, and saidH559, Peradventure there shall be fortyH705 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not do it for the forty’s sakeH5668. 30And he saidH559, Oh let not the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696: peradventure there shall thirtyH7970 be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not do it, if I findH4672 thirtyH7970 there. 31And he saidH559, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speakH1696 unto the LordH136: peradventure there shall be twentyH6242 foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not destroyH7843 it for the twenty’s sakeH5668. 32And he saidH559, Oh let not the LordH136 be angryH2734, and I will speakH1696 yet but this once: peradventure tenH6235 shall be foundH4672 there. And he saidH559, I will not destroyH7843 it for the ten’s sakeH5668. 33And Jehovah wentH7725 his way, as soon as he had left off communing with AbrahamH85: and AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his placeH4725.
