24 Suppose there are fifty righteous people within the city; will You indeed sweep it away and not [a]spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who are in it? 25 Far be it from You to do [b]such a thing, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not (A)the Judge of all the earth [c]deal justly?” 26 So the Lord said, “(B)If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will [d]spare the entire place on their account.”
