Genesis 18:31-33

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³¹ He said, ‘Let me take it upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.’ He answered, ‘For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it.’ ³² Then he said, ‘Oh do not let the Lord be angry if I speak just once more. Suppose ten are found there.’ He answered, ‘For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.’ ³³ And the Lord went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.
