16 And the men rose up from there and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to see them off. 17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from my servant Abraham the thing which I am going to do, 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed through him? 19 For I know him well, and that he will command his children and his household after him, to keep the ways of the LORD, to do justice and righteousness; for the LORD shall fulfil for Abraham the thing that he has spoken concerning him. 20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah has come before me and their sins are very grievous, 21 I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to their cry which has come before me; and if not, I will know. 22 So the men turned from there and went toward Sodom; but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
