Genesis 18:26 in Context — Genesis 18

24 Peut-être y a-t-il cinquante justes au milieu de la ville: les feras-tu périr aussi, et ne pardonneras-tu pas à la ville à cause des cinquante justes qui sont au milieu d’elle?

25 Faire mourir le juste avec le méchant, en sorte qu’il en soit du juste comme du méchant, loin de toi cette manière d’agir! Loin de toi! Celui qui juge toute la terre n’exercera-t-il pas la justice?

26 Et l’Éternel dit: Si je trouve dans Sodome cinquante justes au milieu de la ville, je pardonnerai à toute la ville, à cause d’eux.

27 Abraham reprit, et dit: Voici, j’ai osé parler au Seigneur, moi qui ne suis que poudre et cendre.

28 Peut-être des cinquante justes en manquera-t-il cinq: pour cinq, détruiras-tu toute la ville? Et l’Éternel dit: Je ne la détruirai point, si j’y trouve quarante-cinq justes.
