18.17 And the LORD said: ‘Shall I hide from Abraham that which I am doing; 18.18 eeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 18.19 For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which He hath spoken of him.’ 18.20 And the LORD said: ‘Verily, the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and, verily, their sin is exceeding grievous. 18.21 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.’ 18.22 And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. 18.23 And Abraham drew near, and said: ‘Will You indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 18.24 Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt Thou indeed sweep away and not forgive the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? 18.25 That be far from Thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from Thee; shall not the judge of all the earth do justly?’ 18.26 And the LORD said: ‘If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will forgive all the place for their sake.’ 18.27 And Abraham answered and said: ‘Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes. 18.28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous; wilt Thou destroy all the city for lack of five?’ And He said: ‘I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five.’ 18.29 And he spoke unto Him yet again, and said: ‘Peradventure there shall be forty found there.’ And He said: ‘I will not do it for the forty’s sake.’ 18.30 And he said: ‘Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. 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.''

32.1 לָכֵן אָמַרְתִּי שִׁמְעָה־לִּי אֲחַוֶּה דֵּעִי אַף־אָנִי׃

27.2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; And the Almighty, who hath dealt bitterly with me; 27.3 All the while my breath is in me And the spirit of God is in my nostrils, 27.4 Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, Neither shall my tongue utter deceit; 27.5 Far be it from me that I should justify you; Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
32.1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
32.8 But it is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty, that giveth them understanding. 32.9 It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that discern judgment.
32.10 Therefore I say: ‘Hearken to me; I also will declare mine opinion.’
32.18 For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.
32.19 Behold, mine inwards are as wine which hath no vent; Like new wine-skins which are ready to burst. 32.20 I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.
33.14 For God speaketh in one way, Yea in two, though man perceiveth it not. 33.15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed;
33.18 That He may keep back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword. 33.19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And all his bones grow stiff;
33.23 If there be for him an angel, An intercessor, one among a thousand, To vouch for a man’s uprightness; 33.24 Then He is gracious unto him, and saith: ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’
34.20 In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without hand. .' ' None |
