29. “Suppose there are just forty good people?” Abraham asked.“Even for them,” the Lord replied, “I won't destroy the city.”
30. Abraham said, “Please don't be angry, Lord, if I ask you what you will do if there are only thirty good people in the city.”“If I find thirty,” the Lord replied, “I still won't destroy it.”
31. Then Abraham said, “I don't have any right to ask you, Lord, but what would you do if you find only twenty?”“Because of them, I won't destroy the city,” was the Lord's answer.
32. Finally, Abraham said, “Please don't get angry, Lord, if I speak just once more. Suppose you find only ten good people there.”“For the sake of ten good people,” the Lord told him, “I still won't destroy the city.”
33. After speaking with Abraham, the Lord left, and Abraham went back home.
