Genesis 18:29-31

New Catholic Bible

²⁹ Abraham spoke again and said, “What if you find forty there?” He answered, “I will not do it, for the sake of those forty.” ³⁰ And again he said, “Let my Lord not grow impatient with me if I continue to speak; what if thirty are found there?” He answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.” ³¹ Once again he said, “Look how I dare to talk to my Lord! What if you find twenty there?” He said, “I will not destroy it, for the sake of those twenty.”
