Genesis 18:24-33 Should there be fifty righteous men in the city, wilt thou destroy them? Wilt thou not spare the whole city for the sake of fifty righteous, if they be there?

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Should there be fifty righteous men in the city, wilt thou destroy them? Wilt thou not spare the whole city for the sake of fifty righteous, if they be there? ²⁵ Thou canst not do such a thing as this to slay the righteous with the wicked. Shall the righteous be as the wicked? No, no; Thou who judgest the whole earth; wilt not thou execute judgment? ²⁶ And the Lord said, If there be among the Sodomites fifty righteous men in the city, I will spare the whole city and the whole place for their sake. ²⁷ Then Abraham answered and said, Now I have taken upon me to speak to my Lord, I who am but dust and ashes! ²⁸ But if the fifty righteous be lessened to forty five wilt thou for want of the five destroy the whole city? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty five. ²⁹ And Abraham proceeded farther to speak to him and said, But if there be found there forty? And he said For the sake of the forty I will not destroy it. ³⁰ Then Abraham said, Wilt thou, Lord, be offended if I speak? But if there be found there thirty? ³¹ And he said, I will not; destroy it, for the sake of the thirty. Again Abraham said, Since I am permitted to speak to the Lord, If twenty be found there? ³² And he said I will not destroy it, if I find twenty there. And Abraham said, Wilt thou, Lord, be offended, if I speak yet once more? But if ten be found there? And he said, For the sake of ten I will not destroy it. ³³ Then the Lord having done speaking to Abraham departed, and Abraham returned to his place.
