Rotherham(i)
23 So then Abraham drew near, and said,––Wilt thou really sweep away, the righteous, with the lawless?
24 Peradventure there are fifty righteous, in the midst of the city, Wilt thou really sweep away, and not spare the place, for the sake of the fifty righteous, which are therein?
25 Far be it from thee! to do after this manner, to put to death the righteous with the lawless! Then should righteous and lawless be alike,––Far be it from thee! Shall, the Judge of all the earth, not do, justice?
26 And Yahweh said, If I find in Sodom, fifty righteous, in the midst of the city, then will I spare all the place for their sake.
27 And Abraham responded, and said,––Behold, I pray thee, I have ventured to speak unto My Lord, though, I, am dust and ashes:
28 Peradventure there may lack, of the fifty righteous, five, Wilt thou destroy, for five, all the city? And he said,––I will not destroy, if I find there, forty and five.
29 And he added, yet once more, to speak unto him, and said, Peradventure there may be found there––forty. And he said––I will not do it, for the sake of the forty.
30 And he said, Let it not, I pray thee, be vexing to My Lord, but let me speak, Peradventure there may be found there––thirty. And he said, I will not to it, if I find there––thirty.
31 And he said, Behold, I pray thee, I have ventured to speak unto My Lord, Peradventure there may be found there––twenty. And he said, I will not destroy [it], for the sake of the twenty.
32 And he said, Let it not, I pray thee, be vexing to My Lord, but let me speak, only this once, Peradventure there may be found there––ten. And he said, I will not destroy [it], for the sake of the ten!
