Shall not (A)the Judge of all the earth [b]deal justly?” 26 So the Lord said, “(B)If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will [c]spare the entire place on their account.” 27 And Abraham replied, “Now behold, I have [d]ventured to speak to the Lord, although I am only (C)dust and ashes.
