Genesis 18:20

19 For I have chosen him, so that he will command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, in order that the LORD may bring upon Abraham what He has promised.”

Then the LORD said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great. Because their sin is so grievous,

21 I will go down to see if their actions fully justify the outcry that has reached Me. If not, I will find out.”

22 And the two men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD.
