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

    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 through him all nations of the earth will be blessed.

    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.

    20Then the LORD said, 'The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and their sin is very grave.

    21'I will go down now and see if what they have done matches the outcry that has come to Me. If not, I will know.'

    22The men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the LORD.

    28'Suppose the fifty righteous people lack five. Will You destroy the entire city for lack of five?' He replied, 'If I find forty-five there, I will not destroy it.'

    29Once again Abraham spoke to Him, 'What if forty are found there?' He answered, 'For the sake of forty, I will not do it.'
