Genesis 18:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And the Lord said: Can I hide from Abraham what I am about to do:

¹⁸ Seeing he shall become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth shall be blessed?

¹⁹ For I know that he will command his children, and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord, and do judgment and justice: that for Abraham's sake the Lord may bring to effect all the things he hath spoken unto him.
