Job 42:8
42:8 So now take
seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job will intercede
for you, and I will respect him,
so that I do not deal with you
according to your folly,
because you have not spoken about me what is right, as my servant Job has.”

18:27 Then Abraham asked, “Since I have undertaken to speak to the Lord (although I am but dust and ashes),
18:28 what if there are five less than the fifty godly people? Will you destroy the whole city because five are lacking?” He replied, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”
18:29 Abraham spoke to him again, “What if forty are found there?” He replied, “I will not do it for the sake of the forty.”
18:30 Then Abraham said, “May the Lord not be angry so that I may speak! What if thirty are found there?” He replied, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
18:31 Abraham said, “Since I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty are found there?” He replied, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the twenty.”
18:32 Finally Abraham said, “May the Lord not be angry so that I may speak just once more. What if ten are found there?” He replied, “I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”

the one who makes the streets inhabitable again.’

5:1 The Lord said,
“Go up and down through the streets of Jerusalem.
Look around and see for yourselves.
Search through its public squares.

who deals honestly and tries to be truthful.
If you can, then I will not punish this city.
