Genesis 18:25-32

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.
