28 O God, may that be far from thee, for shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
29 And the Lord said unto Abraham, If thou findest in Sodom, fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
30 And Abraham answered and said, Behold, now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which is able to destroy the city, and lay all the people in dust and ashes;
31 Will the Lord spare them peradventure there lack five of the fifty righteous; wilt thou destroy all the city for their wickedness, if I find there forty and five righteous?
32 And he said, I will not destroy, but spare them.
33 And he spake unto him again, and said, Peradventure there should be forty found there?
34 And he said, I will not destroy it for forty's sake.
35 And he said again unto the Lord, O, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there?
36 And he said, I will not destroy them if thou shalt find thirty there.
37 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord; wilt thou destroy them if peradventure there shall twenty be found there?
38 And he said, I will not destroy them for twenty's sake.
