Compare all
24 Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it?
25 Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that athe righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! bShall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”  
26 So the Lord said, a“If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.”  
27 Then Abraham answered and said, “Indeed now, I who am abut dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord:  
28 Suppose there were five less than the fifty righteous; would You destroy all of the city for lack of five?” So He said, “If I find there forty-five, I will not destroy it.”
29 And he spoke to Him yet again and said, “Suppose there should be forty found there?” So He said, “I will not do it for the sake of forty.”
30 Then he said, a“Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Suppose thirty should be found there?” So He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”  
31 And he said, “Indeed now, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: Suppose twenty should be found there?” So He said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty.”
32 Then he said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there?” aAnd He said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.”  
33 So the Lord went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
