The coming of such a destruction will be averted as long as there are some righteous among the people. It is when they drive the righteous from among them that the sword of the Lord shall fall. The prophets declare that if such a day comes it will be when hypocrisy, murder and secret abominations prevail throughout the land, and no doubt the patience of the intelligent and righteous would be exhausted long before the Lord finally showed forth the power of his indignation.

I do not recall the passage specifically but I recall a part where God seems upset. "If you had preformed these miracles in some place it would still stand." not specific.
It is a hefty responsibility, knowing that God would willingly and willfully lay waste to anything his children consider no longer worth the effort. mull that over for a time. Who knows how often the only thing keeping the majority of people alive was a willfully, worldly ignorant, person that knew what God would do if they said they had enough. Talk about fear of God. Maybe they only stay because they know what follows, maybe they only stay to save as many as they can.
