18After all, Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations on the earth may receive blessing through him.
19I have chosen him so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just. Then the LORD will give to Abraham what he promised him.”
20So the LORD said,“The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so blatant
21that I must go down and see if they are as wicked as the outcry suggests. If not, I want to know.”
22The two men turned and headed toward Sodom, but Abraham was still standing before the LORD.
23Abraham approached and said,“Will you really sweep away the godly along with the wicked?
24What if there are fifty godly people in the city? Will you really wipe it out and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty godly people who are in it?
25Far be it from you to do such a thing– to kill the godly with the wicked, treating the godly and the wicked alike! Far be it from you! Will not the judge of the whole earth do what is right?”
26So the LORD replied,“If I find in the city of Sodom fifty godly people, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
27Then Abraham asked,“Since I have undertaken to speak to the Lord(although I am but dust and ashes),
28what if there are five less than the fifty godly people? Will you destroy the whole city because five are lacking?” He replied,“I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
29Abraham spoke to him again,“What if forty are found there?” He replied,“I will not do it for the sake of the forty.”
30Then Abraham said,“May the Lord not be angry so that I may speak! What if thirty are found there?” He replied,“I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
31Abraham said,“Since I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty are found there?” He replied,“I will not destroy it for the sake of the twenty.”
32Finally Abraham said,“May the Lord not be angry so that I may speak just once more. What if ten are found there?” He replied,“I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”
33The LORD went on his way when he had finished speaking to Abraham. Then Abraham returned home.
