17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; |
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? |
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. |
20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; |
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. |
22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. |
