NASB
"And Abraham replied, "Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord, although I am but dust and ashes."
— Genesis 18:27, NASB
“And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:”
“And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes: ”
“Abraham answered, "See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.”
“Then Abraham asked,“Since I have undertaken to speak to the Lord(although I am but dust and ashes),”
“And Abraham answered, and said: Seeing I have once begun, I will speak to my Lord, whereas I am dust and ashes.”
“And Abraham answering said, Truly, I who am only dust, have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord:”
“And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:”
"Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will You indeed sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who are in it?
"Far be it from You to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?"
So the LORD said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place on their account."
And Abraham replied, "Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord, although I am but dust and ashes.
"Suppose the fifty righteous are lacking five, will You destroy the whole city because of five?" And He said, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there."
He spoke to Him yet again and said, "Suppose forty are found there?" And He said, "I will not do it on account of the forty."
Then he said, "Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak; suppose thirty are found there?" And He said, "I will not do it if I find thirty there."
