Genesis 18:23-25

23Abraham came near and said, “1Will You indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?

24Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will You indeed sweep it away and not 2spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who are in it?

25Far be it from You to do 3such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not 4the Judge of all the earth 5deal justly?”
