16 The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way. 17 And God said, |Will I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, 18 seeing that Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him? 19 For I have made myself known to him, so that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of God, to do righteousness and justice, so that God may bring to Abraham that which he has spoken to him.| 20 God said, |Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is so grievous, 21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done entirely according to the outcry which has come to me. And if not, I will know.| 22 The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before God. Genesis 18:16-22, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
