Genesis 18:30-32

International Standard Version

³⁰ Abraham^[a] then asked, “I hope my Lord will not be angry if I speak. What if 30 are found there?”

The Lord^[b] answered, “I won’t do it for the sake of those 30.”

³¹ “Look,” Abraham^[c] said, “I’ve presumed to speak to my Lord… so what if 20 are found there?”

“For the sake of those 20,” the Lord^[d] responded, “I won’t destroy it.”

³² Finally, Abraham^[e] inquired, “I hope my Lord will not be angry if I speak only once more. What if ten are found there?”

He replied, “For the sake of those ten I won’t destroy it.”
