27 Abraham asked, |Consider now, if I may be so bold as to ask you, although I'm [only] dust and ashes, 28 what if there are 45 innocent people? Will you destroy the whole city because of 5 fewer people?| The LORD answered, |I will not destroy it if I find 45 there.| 29 Abraham asked him again, |What if 40 are found there?| He answered, |For the sake of the 40 I will not do it.| 30 |Please don't be angry if I speak again,| Abraham said. |What if 30 are found there?| He answered, |If I find 30 there, I will not do it.| Genesis 18:27-30, God's Word Translation.
