Genesis 18:26-32

26So the LordH3068 saidH559, “1IfH518 I findH4672 in SodomH5467 fiftyH2572 righteousH6662 withinH8432 the cityH5892, then I will 2spareH5375 the wholeH3605 placeH4725 on their accountH5668.”

27And AbrahamH85 repliedH6030, “NowH4994 beholdH2009, I have 3venturedH2974 to speakH1696 to the LordH136, although I am but 4dustH6083 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 5venturedH2974 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, “6OhH4994 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.”
