You have not said what is true about me, as my servant Job has.So now get seven bulls and seven rams. Go to my servant Job. Then sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you. And I will accept his prayer. I will not punish you for saying the foolish things you said. You have not said what is true about me, as my servant Job has.”

The Lord said,“ If I find 50 godly people in the city of Sodom, I will spare it. I will spare the whole place because of them.”Then Abraham spoke up again. He said,“ I have been very bold to speak to the Lord. After all, I’m only dust and ashes.What if the number of godly people is five fewer than 50? Will you destroy the whole city because there are five fewer people?”“ If I find 45 there,” he said,“ I will not destroy it.”Once again Abraham spoke to him. He asked,“ What if only 40 are found there?” He said,“ If there are 40, I will not do it.”Then Abraham said,“ Lord, please don’t be angry with me. Let me speak. What if only 30 can be found there?” He answered,“ If I find 30, I will not do it.”Abraham said,“ I have been very bold to speak to the Lord. What if only 20 can be found there?” He said,“ If I find 20, I will not destroy it.”Then he said,“ Lord, please don’t be angry with me. Let me speak just one more time. What if only ten can be found there?” He answered,“ If I find ten, I will not destroy it.”
