Genesis 18:17-22

17And YhwhH3068 saidH559, Shall I hideH3680 from AbrahamH85 that thing whichH834 I doH6213;

18Seeing that AbrahamH85 shall surely become a greatH1419 and mightyH6099 nationH1471, and all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 shall be blessedH1288 in him?

19For I knowH3045 him, thatH834 he will commandH6680 his childrenH1121 and his householdH1004 after himH310, and they shall keepH8104 the wayH1870 of YhwhH3068, to doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941; that YhwhH3068 may bringH935 upon AbrahamH85 that which he hath spokenH1696 of him.

20And YhwhH3068 saidH559, Because the cryH2201 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 is greatH7227, and because their sinH2403 is veryH3966 grievousH3513;

21I will go downH3381 now, and seeH7200 whether they have doneH6213 altogetherH3617 according to the cryH6818 of it, which is comeH935 unto me; and if not, I will knowH3045.

22And the menH582 turned their facesH6437 from thence, and wentH3212 toward SodomH5467: but AbrahamH85 stoodH5975 yetH5750 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068.
