OET (OET-RV) Surely you wouldn’t do anything like that—killing the good people along with the evil ones, so that they all just get treated the same? Certainly you wouldn’t do that? Wouldn’t the one who judges the entire world be more fair?”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
חָלִ֨לָה לְּךָ֜
far_be_it!, from,you
This idiom expresses emphatically that Abraham does not believe Yahweh would do this. Consider whether or not your language has a similar idiom. Make sure that Abraham sounds respectful in your translation. Alternate translation: “Surely you would never” or “It seems impossible that you would ever” or “I hope that you would never”
צַדִּיק֙
law-abiding/just
See how you translated this phrase in verse 23. Alternate translation: “good people”
עִם
with
Alternate translation: “along with” or “when you destroy”
רָשָׁ֔ע
wicked
See how you translated the wicked in verse 23. Alternate translation: “wicked people,”
וְהָיָ֥ה כַצַּדִּ֖יק כָּרָשָׁ֑ע
and=it_was alike_the,righteous as_the,wicked
If exclamation points are used in this chapter, make sure it does not sound like Abraham is angry, shouting, or being disrespectful Alternate translation: “so that good people are punished by you as if they were evil!”
חָלִ֣לָה לָּ֔ךְ
far_be_it!, from,you
See how you translated a similar phrase at the beginning of this verse. Alternate translation: “Surely you would never do such a thing!” or “It seems impossible that you would ever do such a thing!” or “I hope that you would never do such a thing!”

?,judge all/each/any/every the=earth/land not he/it_made/did what_is_just
Consider what is the best way in your language to translate this rhetorical question; make sure that Abraham sounds polite. Also see how you translated justice in verse 19. Alternate translation: “As the judge of everyone on the earth, surely you will treat people rightly.” or “You are the one who judges all the people on the earth. Surely you will do what is right.”
18:16-33 God took Abraham into his confidence as his prophet (18:16-21; see 20:7); Abraham, in turn, interceded for Sodom (18:23-32; see Heb 7:23-26). God is able to do whatever he chooses to do; this passage affirms that it will be just and right.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
