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:
