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:
