lord being old also?

laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?”

LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did
Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a
surety bear a child, which am old?
And the
LORD asked Abraham, “Why did
Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really bear a child when I am old?’
Is any thing too hard for the
LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and
Sarah shall have a son.
Is anything too difficult for the
LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you—in about a year—and
Sarah will have a son.”

laugh.” “No,” replied the
LORD, “but you did
laugh.”

Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the
LORD.

LORD said, If I find in
Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will
spare all the place for their sakes.
So the
LORD replied, “If I find fifty righteous ones within the city of
Sodom, on their account I will
spare the whole place.”
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
Then Abraham answered, “Now that I have
ventured to speak to the
Lord—though I am but dust and ashes—
And he spake unto him yet again, and said,
Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.
Once again Abraham spoke to the LORD, “Suppose forty are found there?” He answered, “On account of the forty, I will not do it.”
And he said unto him, Oh let not the
Lord be
angry, and I will speak:
Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
Then Abraham said, “May the
Lord not be
angry, but let me speak further. Suppose thirty are found there?” He replied, “If I find thirty there, I will not do it.”
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the
Lord:
Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.

ventured to speak to the
Lord, suppose twenty are found there?” He answered, “On account of the twenty, I will not destroy it.”
And he said, Oh let not the
Lord be
angry, and I will speak yet but this once:
Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.
Finally, Abraham said, “May the
Lord not be
angry, but let me speak once more. Suppose ten are found there?” And He answered, “On account of the ten, I will not destroy it.”
And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, He departed, and Abraham returned home.
And he said, Behold now, my
lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and
tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said,
Nay; but we will
abide in the street all night.
and said, “My
lords, please turn aside into the house of your servant; wash your feet and
spend the night. Then you can rise early and go on your way.” “No,” they answered, “we will
spend the night in the square.”
For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is
waxen great before the face of the
LORD; and the
LORD hath sent us to destroy it.

LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that
mocked unto his sons in law.
So Lot went out and spoke to the sons-in-law who were
pledged in marriage to his daughters. “Get up,” he said. “Get out of this place, for the
LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was
joking.
And while he
lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the
LORD being
merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
But when Lot
hesitated, the men
grabbed his hand and the hands of his wife and his two daughters. And they led them safely out of the city, because of the
LORD’s
compassion for them.
And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
But Lot replied, “No, my lords, please!
