Genesis 18:26-28

International Standard Version

²⁶ The Lord said, “If I find 50 righteous people within Sodom, I’ll forgive the whole place for their sake.”

²⁷ Abraham answered, “Look, even though I am only dust and ashes, I’ve ventured to speak to my Lord. ²⁸ What if there are five less than 50 righteous ones? Will you bring destruction upon the city because of those five?”

The Lord^[a] said, “I won’t destroy it if I find 45 there.”
