Genesis 18:22-33

22Then 1the menH376 turnedH6437 awayH6437 from thereH8033 and wentH1980 toward SodomH5467, while AbrahamH85 was stillH5750 standingH5975 beforeH6440 2the LordH3068.

23AbrahamH85 cameH5066 nearH5066 and saidH559, “3Will You indeedH637 sweepH5595 awayH5595 the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563?

24SupposeH194 thereH3426 are fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892; will You indeedH637 sweepH5595 it awayH5595 and not 4spareH5375 the placeH4725 for the sakeH4616 of the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 whoH834 are in it?

25FarH2486 be it from You to doH6213 5suchH2088 a thingH1697, to slayH4191 the righteousH6662 with the wickedH7563, so that the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563 are treated alike. FarH2486 be it from You! Shall not 6the JudgeH8199 of allH3605 the earthH776 7dealH6213 justlyH4941?”

26So the LordH3068 saidH559, “8IfH518 I findH4672 in SodomH5467 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892, then I will 9spareH5375 the wholeH3605 placeH4725 on their accountH5668.”

27And AbrahamH85 repliedH6030, “NowH4994 beholdH2009, I have 10venturedH2974 to speakH1696 to the LordH136, although I am but 11dustH6083 and ashesH665.

28SupposeH194 the fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 are lackingH2637 fiveH2568, will You destroyH7843 the wholeH3605 cityH5892 because of fiveH2568?” And He saidH559, “I will not destroyH7843 it ifH518 I findH4672 forty-fiveH705H2568 thereH8033.”

29He spokeH1696 to Him yetH5750 againH3254 and saidH559, “SupposeH194 fortyH705 are foundH4672 thereH8033?” And He saidH559, “I will not doH6213 it on accountH5668 of the fortyH705.”

30Then he saidH559, “OhH4994 mayH4994 the LordH136 not be angryH2734, and I shall speakH1696; supposeH194 thirtyH7970 are foundH4672 thereH8033?” And He saidH559, “I will not doH6213 it ifH518 I findH4672 thirtyH7970 thereH8033.”

31And he saidH559, “NowH4994 beholdH2009, I have 12venturedH2974 to speakH1696 to the LordH136; supposeH194 twentyH6242 are foundH4672 thereH8033?” And He saidH559, “I will not destroyH7843 it on accountH5668 of the twentyH6242.”

32Then he saidH559, “13OhH4994 mayH4994 the LordH136 not be angryH2734, and I shall speakH1696 onlyH389 thisH6471 onceH6471; supposeH194 tenH6235 are foundH4672 thereH8033?” And He saidH559, “I will not destroyH7843 it on accountH5668 of the tenH6235.”

33As soonH3512 as He had finishedH3615 speakingH1696 to AbrahamH85 14the LordH3068 departedH1980, and AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 to his placeH4725.
