Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” He replied,“ I will not destroy it if I find 45 there.”Then he spoke to Him again,“ Suppose 40 are found there?” He answered,“ I will not do it on account of 40.”Then he said,“ Let the Lord not be angry, and I will speak further. Suppose 30 are found there?” He answered,“ I will not do it if I find 30 there.”Then he said,“ Since I have ventured to speak to the Lord, suppose 20 are found there?” He replied,“ I will not destroy it on account of 20.”Then he said,“ Let the Lord not be angry, and I will speak one more time. Suppose 10 are found there?” He answered,“ I will not destroy it on account of 10.”When the Lord had finished speaking with Abraham, He departed, and Abraham returned to his place.
