Peradventure there shall thirty be found there.’ And He said: ‘I will not do it, if I find thirty there.’ 18.31 And he said: ‘Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord. Peradventure there shall be twenty found there.’ And He said: ‘I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.’ 18.32 And he said: ‘Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once. Peradventure ten shall be found there.’ And He said: ‘I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.’ 18.33 And the LORD went His way, as soon as He had left off speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned unto his place.''
