27 And Abraham will answer and say, Behold now, I have undertaken to speak to my Lord, and I dust and ashes.

28 If the fifty just shall lack five: wilt thou destroy for sake of five all the city? And he will say, I will not destroy, if I shall find there forty and five.

29 And he added yet to speak to him, and he will say, If forty shall be found there? And he will say, I will not do for sake of forty.

30 And he will say, Now will it not kindle to the Lord, and I will speak: If thirty shall be found there? And he will say, I will not do, if I shall find thirty there.

31 And he will say, Behold now, I have begun to speak to the Lord If twenty shall be found there? And he will say, I will not destroy for sake of twenty.

32 And he will say, Now will it not be angry to the Lord, and I will speak only this once: If ten shall be found there? And he will say, I will not destroy for sake of ten.

33 And Jehovah went forth after that he finished to speak to Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.
