Genesis 18:27-29

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁷ Then Abraham answered, “Since I have ventured to speak to the Lord—even though I am dust and ashes— ²⁸ suppose the 50 righteous lack five. Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?”

He replied, “I will not destroy it if I find 45 there.”

²⁹ Then he spoke to Him again, “Suppose 40 are found there?”

He answered, “I will not do it on account of 40.”
