22And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before Jehovah.

23And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou consume the righteous with the wicked?

24Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

25That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from thee: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

26And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.

27And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes:

28peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five.
