Genesis 18:26-28

New Catholic Bible

²⁶ The Lord answered, “If I find fifty righteous people living in the city of Sodom, for their sake I will spare the city.”

²⁷ Abraham spoke again, “Look how I dare to speak with my Lord, I who am dust and ashes. ²⁸ What if there are five fewer than fifty righteous people, will you destroy the entire city because of those five?”

He answered, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
