Genesis 18:22-24
The Voice
22 At this point the men turned and headed toward Sodom while Abraham remained standing before the Eternal One. 23 Then Abraham approached Him solemnly and pled for the city.
Abraham (to God): God, would You really sweep away the people who do what is right along with those who are wicked? 24 What if there were 50 upright people within the city? Would You still wipe the place out and not spare it on behalf of the 50 upright people who live there?
Genesis 18:22-24

Will you really sweep it away and not spare[b] the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it?(E)
