Genesis 18:23-32

VIN(i) 23 And Abraham drew near to Yahweh and said, "Will you also sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing as this, to kill the righteous with the wicked, that the righteous would be as the wicked! Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do justice?" 26 the LORD said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare 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 "Suppose there were five less than the fifty righteous. Would you destroy the entire city for lack of five?" So He (God) said: "If I find there forty-five, I will not destroy it." 29 And once again he spoke to him and said, "What if forty are found there?" And he answered, "I will not do it on account of the forty." 30 And he said, "Please, let not my Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if thirty be found there?" And he answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." 31 He said, "See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake." 32 He said, Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there? He said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.
