And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.
And if there be yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they are felled; so the holy seed is the stock thereof.
Yet there shall be left therein gleanings, as the shaking of an olive-tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith Jehovah, the God of Israel.
And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
