2 He said, "Please, my lords, turn aside to your servant’s house. Spend the night and wash your feet; then you can rise early and be on your way." But they said, "No, we will spend the night in the square."
3 But Lot insisted strongly, so they turned aside to him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house.
5 They called to Lot and said, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so we can have relations with them."
6 Lot went outside to meet them, closing the door behind him.
7 He said, "No, my brothers. Please, don’t do this wicked thing.
8 Look, I have two daughters who have never been with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do to them whatever seems good to you. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof."
9 They replied, "Get out of the way! This man came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to act as a judge! We’ll treat you worse than them." They pressed hard against Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
10 But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot back into the house with them, and shut the door.
11 Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, both young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the doorway.
12 The men said to Lot, "Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here,
13 because we are about to destroy this place. The outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it."
14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters. He said, "Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!" But to his sons-in-law, he seemed to be joking.
15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished."
16 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand, the hands of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them.
17 As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, "Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains, or you will be swept away!"
18 But Lot said to them, "No, my lords, please!"
19 "Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown great kindness to me by sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die.
