And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.(Genesis 18:26)

And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes:(Genesis 18:27)

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.(Genesis 18:28)

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.(Genesis 18:30)

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.(Genesis 18:31)

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.(Genesis 18:32)
