19 For I have [a](A)known him, so that he may (B)command his children and his household after him, (C)that they keep the way of Yahweh to do righteousness and justice, so that Yahweh may bring upon Abraham (D)what He has spoken about him.” 20 So Yahweh said, “(E)The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave. 21 I will (F)go down now and see whether they have done entirely according to its outcry, which has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”

New International Version
19 For I have chosen him(A), so that he will direct his children(B) and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord(C) by doing what is right and just,(D) so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”(E)
20 Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom(F) and Gomorrah is so great(G) and their sin so grievous(H) 21 that I will go down(I) and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.”
