New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ I chose him so that he would instruct his sons and his family after him to observe the ways of the Lord and to act with justice and righteousness so that the Lord might fulfill what he has promised to Abraham.”

²⁰ Therefore, the Lord said, “The cry against Sodom and Gomorrah is too great and their sin is very grave. ²¹ I am going to descend to see if they have really done all the evil that has cried out to me. I want to know this!”
