¹⁷ Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham^(A) what I am about to do?^{(B) 18} Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation,^(C) and all nations on earth will be blessed through him.^{[a] 19} For I have chosen him^(D), so that he will direct his children^(E) and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord^(F) by doing what is right and just,^(G) so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”^(H)
