New American Standard Bible

Abraham Appeals for Sodom

²² Then ^(A)the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, while Abraham was still standing before ^(B)the Lord. ²³ Abraham approached and said, “^(C)Will You indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? ²⁴ Suppose there are fifty righteous people within the city; will You indeed sweep it away and not ^[a]spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who are in it? ²⁵ Far be it from You to do ^[b]such a thing, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not ^(D)the Judge of all the earth ^[c]deal justly?”
