Genesis 18:27-29

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁷ Then Abraham answered and said, “Behold now, I have begun to speak to my Lord; and I am but dust and ashes.

²⁸ “If there shall be five less than fifty righteous, will You destroy all the city for five?” And He said, “If I find forty-five there, I will not destroy it.”

²⁹ And he spoke to Him yet again, and said, “What if there shall be found forty there?” Then He answered, “I will not do it for forty’s sake.”
