Genesis 18:23-32
23Then Abraham drew near and said, a“Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city. Will you then sweep away the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it? 25Far be it from you to do such a thing, to put the righteous to death with the wicked, bso that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! cShall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?” 26And the Lord said, d“If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”27Abraham answered and said, e“Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. 28Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking. Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” And he said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.” 29Again he spoke to him and said, “Suppose forty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of forty I will not do it.” 30Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there.” He answered, “I will not do it, if I find thirty there.” 31He said, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it.” 32Then he said, f“Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.”

28 oPlead with the Lord, for there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.” 29Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, pI will stretch out my hands to the Lord. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that qthe earth is the Lord’s.Exodus 9:33

10Now therefore tlet me alone, that umy wrath may burn hot against them and vI may consume them, in order that wI may make a great nation of you.”11But xMoses implored the Lord his God and said, “O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 12 yWhy should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent did he bring them out, to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your burning anger and zrelent from this disaster against your people. 13Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you aaswore by your own self, and said to them, ab‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’” 14And the Lord acrelented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people.
