20 <\/sup>And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;<\/p>\n\n\n\n 21 <\/sup>I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 22 <\/sup>And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 23 <\/sup>And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 24 <\/sup>Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 25 <\/sup>That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 26 <\/sup>And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 27 <\/sup>And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 28 <\/sup>Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five?
