여호와께서 가라사대 내가 만일 소돔 성중에서 의인 오십을 찾으면 그들을 위하여 온 지경을 용서하리라
Duties of the Heart
So too they shine on this world as written: "G-d said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous men within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake" (Bereishis 18:26). And: "Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses, His chosen, stood before Him in the breach to turn away His wrath" (Tehilim 106:23), and in the next world, as written "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life" (Mishlei 11:30), and therefore Devorah said: "they that love Him shall be as the sun when it goes forth in its might" (Shoftim 5:31).
