16 After this, the men set out from there and looked out over Sodom. Abraham went with them to send them off. 17 |Should I hide from Abraham what I'm about to do,| the LORD asked, 18 |since Abraham's descendants will become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him? 19 Indeed, I've made myself known to him in order that he may encourage his sons and his household that is born after him to keep the way of the LORD, and to do what is right and just, so that the LORD may bring about for Abraham what he has promised.| 20 The LORD also said, |How great is the disapproval of Sodom and Gomorrah! Their sin is so very serious! 21 I'm going down to see whether they've acted according to the protests that have reached me. If not, I wish to know.| 22 Then two of the men turned away from there and walked toward Sodom, while Abraham remained standing in the presence of the LORD. Genesis 18:16-22, Intl. Standard Version.
