Genesis 18:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 For I know him [a]that he will command his sons and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord to do righteousness and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraham, that he hath spoken unto him.
20 Then the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is exceedingly grievous,
21 I will [b]go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to that [c]cry, which is come unto me: and if not, that I may know.
