Shall anything be impossible with the Lord? At this time I will return to thee seasonably, and Sarrha shall have a son.
15

And the men having risen up from thence looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha. And Abraam went with them, attending them on their journey.
17
And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraam my servant what things I intend to do?
18
But Abraam shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blest.
19
For I know that he will order his sons, and his house after him, and they will keep the ways of the Lord, to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraam all things whatsoever he has spoken to him.

21
I will therefore go down and see, if they completely correspond with the cry which comes to me, and if not, that I may know.
22
And the men having departed thence, came to Sodom; and Abraam was still standing before the Lord.
23
And Abraam drew nigh and said, Wouldest thou destroy the righteous with the wicked, and shall the righteous be as the wicked?
24
Should there be fifty righteous in the city, wilt thou destroy them? wilt thou not spare the whole place for the sake of the fifty righteous, if they be in it?
