²⁴Suppose there are fifty righteous people within the city; will You indeed sweep it away and not ^[a]spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who are in it? ²⁵Far be it from You to do ^[b]such a thing, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not ^(A)the Judge of all the earth ^[c]deal justly?” ²⁶So the Lord said, “^(B)If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will ^[d]spare the entire place on their account.”
