Genesis 18:27-29

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁷ Then Abraham answered, ‘Since I have ventured to speak to my lord – even though I am dust and ashes –  ²⁸ suppose the fifty righteous lack five. Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five? ’

He replied, ‘I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.’

²⁹ Then he spoke to him again, ‘Suppose forty are found there? ’

He answered, ‘I will not do it on account of forty.’
