Genesis 18:31-33

New Catholic Bible

³¹ Once again he said, “Look how I dare to talk to my Lord! What if you find twenty there?” He said, “I will not destroy it, for the sake of those twenty.”

³² Yet again he said, “My Lord, do not grow impatient if I speak still another time; what if ten are found there?” He answered, “I will not destroy it, for the sake of the ten.” ³³ When the Lord had finished speaking with Abraham, he went on his way, and Abraham returned to his tent.
