Genesis 18:10-20

10 The LORD said, "I promise I'll come back to you next year at this time, and your wife Sarah will have a son." Sarah happened to be listening at the entrance of the tent, which was behind him.
11 Abraham and Sarah were old. Sarah was past the age of childbearing.
12 And so Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, "Now that I've become old, will I enjoy myself again? What's more, my husband is old!"
13 The LORD asked Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'Can I really have a child now that I'm old?'
14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will come back to you next year at this time, and Sarah will have a son."
15 Because she was afraid, Sarah denied that she had laughed. But the LORD said, "Yes, you did laugh."
16 Then the men got up to leave. As Abraham was walking with them to see them off, they looked toward Sodom.
17 The LORD said, "I shouldn't hide what I am going to do from Abraham.
18 After all, Abraham is going to become a great and mighty nation and through him all the nations of the earth will be blessed.
19 I have chosen him so that he will direct his children and his family after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just. In this way I, the LORD, will do what I have promised Abraham."
20 The LORD also said, "Sodom and Gomorrah have many complaints against them, and their sin is very serious.
