01:018:024 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt
thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that
are therein?
01:018:025 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the
righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the
wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do
right?
01:018:026 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within
the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
01:018:027 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon
me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes:
01:018:028 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous:
wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find
there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
01:018:029 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure
there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for
forty's sake.
01:018:030 And he said unto him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I
will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he
said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
01:018:031 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto
the LORD: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said,
I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
01:018:032 And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak
yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said,
I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
01:018:033 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing
with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
01:019:001 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in
the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he
bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
01:019:002 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into
your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye
shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we
will abide in the street all night.
01:019:003 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto
him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake
unleavened bread, and they did eat.
01:019:004 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men
of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people
from every quarter:
01:019:005 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the
men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we
may know them.
01:019:006 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door
after him,
01:019:007 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
01:019:008 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man;
let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is
good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came
they under the shadow of my roof.
