Genesis 18:16-22

16Then 1the men rose up from there, and looked down toward Sodom; and Abraham was walking with them to send them off. 172The Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham 3what I am about to do, 18since Abraham will surely become a great and 4mighty nation, and in him 5all the nations of the earth will be blessed? 19For I have 67chosen him, so that he may 8command his children and his household after him to 9keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring upon Abraham 10what He has spoken about him.” 20And the Lord said, “11The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave. 21I will 12go down now, and see if they have done entirely according to its outcry, which has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”

22Then 13the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, while Abraham was still standing before 14the Lord.
