Genesis 18:17

13The LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will I really bear a child when I am old?’

14Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes around, and Sarah will have a son.”

15Then Sarah denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”

16The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.

17The LORD said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I do,

18since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?

19For 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 on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”

20The LORD said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,

21I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know.”
