Genesis 18:19 BBE

¹⁷  And the Lord said, Am I to keep back from Abraham the knowledge of what I do;

¹⁸  Seeing that Abraham will certainly become a great and strong nation, and his name will be used by all the nations of the earth as a blessing?

¹⁹  For I have made him mine so that he may give orders to his children and those of his line after him, to keep the ways of the Lord, to do what is good and right: so that the Lord may do to Abraham as he has said.

²⁰  And the Lord said, Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is very great, and their sin is very evil,

²¹  I will go down now, and see if their acts are as bad as they seem from the outcry which has come to me; and if they are not, I will see.
