Genesis 18:16-19

16When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way.

17Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?

18Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him.

19For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”
