50:2 Why does no one challenge me when I come?
Why does no one respond when I call? 1
Is my hand too weak 2 to deliver 3 you?
Do I lack the power to rescue you?
Look, with a mere shout 4 I can dry up the sea;
I can turn streams into a desert,
so the fish rot away and die
from lack of water. 5
64:7 No one invokes 6 your name,
or makes an effort 7 to take hold of you.
For you have rejected us 8
and handed us over to our own sins. 9
18:26 So the Lord replied, “If I find in the city of Sodom fifty godly people, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
18:27 Then Abraham asked, “Since I have undertaken to speak to the Lord 13 (although I am but dust and ashes), 14 18:28 what if there are five less than the fifty godly people? Will you destroy 15 the whole city because five are lacking?” 16 He replied, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
18:29 Abraham 17 spoke to him again, 18 “What if forty are found there?” He replied, “I will not do it for the sake of the forty.”
18:30 Then Abraham 19 said, “May the Lord not be angry 20 so that I may speak! 21 What if thirty are found there?” He replied, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
18:31 Abraham 22 said, “Since I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty are found there?” He replied, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the twenty.”
18:32 Finally Abraham 23 said, “May the Lord not be angry so that I may speak just once more. What if ten are found there?” He replied, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”
106:23 He threatened 24 to destroy them,
but 25 Moses, his chosen one, interceded with him 26
and turned back his destructive anger. 27
5:1 The Lord said, 28
“Go up and down 29 through the streets of Jerusalem. 30
Look around and see for yourselves.
Search through its public squares.
See if any of you can find a single person
who deals honestly and tries to be truthful. 31
If you can, 32 then I will not punish this city. 33
22:30 “I looked for a man from among them who would repair the wall and stand in the gap before me on behalf of the land, so that I would not destroy it, but I found no one. 34
