Genesis 18:29-31

The Voice

Abraham (persisting): ²⁹ Suppose 40 are found there.

Eternal One: I won’t destroy the city for the sake of 40.

Abraham: ³⁰ Please don’t be angry, Lord, at my boldness. Let me ask this: What if You found 30 there who are good and true?

Eternal One: I will not do it, even if I find only 30 there.

Abraham: ³¹ Since I have implored the Lord this far, may I ask: What if there were 20?

Eternal One: For the sake of 20, I will not destroy the city.
