This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Ver. 23. And Abraham drew near.] A privilege proper to such as have "a true heart," "full assurance of faith," and "a good conscience". {Heb_10:22} "The hypocrite shall not come before him" {Job_13:16} He must stand without as a vagrant at the gate, that knows not whether the master is providing for him an alms, or a cudgel. But the upright comes into the parlour; yea, "dwells in God’s presence," {Psa_140:13} in the light of his countenance.
Wilt thou also destroy the righteous?] Single suits speed not: we must back them with sound arguments, and reason the case with God concerning his judgments. {Jer_12:1}
