Will You really sweep it away instead of sparing the place for the sake of the 50 righteous people who are in it?You could not possibly do such a thing: to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. You could not possibly do that! Won’t the Judge of all the earth do what is just?”The Lord said,“ If I find 50 righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”Then Abraham answered,“ Since I have ventured to speak to the Lord— even though I am dust and ashes—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.”Then he spoke to Him again,“ Suppose 40 are found there?” He answered,“ I will not do it on account of 40.”Then he said,“ Let the Lord not be angry, and I will speak further. Suppose 30 are found there?” He answered,“ I will not do it if I find 30 there.”Then he said,“ Since I have ventured to speak to the Lord, suppose 20 are found there?” He replied,“ I will not destroy it on account of 20.”Then he said,“ Let the Lord not be angry, and I will speak one more time. Suppose 10 are found there?” He answered,“ I will not destroy it on account of 10.”

Though our guilt testifies against us, Yahweh, act for Your name’s sake.

Yet You are among us, Yahweh, and we are called by Your name. Don’t leave us!This is what the Lord says concerning these people: Truly they love to wander; they never rest their feet. So the Lord does not accept them. Now He will remember their guilt and punish their sins.Then the Lord said to me,“ Do not pray for the well-being of these people.

Send them from My presence, and let them go.
