    1The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting at the city gate. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground.

    2He 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."

    3But 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.

    4Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house.

    5They 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."

    6Lot went outside to meet them, closing the door behind him.

    7He said, "No, my brothers. Please, don’t do this wicked thing.

    8Look, 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."

    9They 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.

    10But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot back into the house with them, and shut the door.

    11Then 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.

    12The 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,

    13because 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."

    14So 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.

    15With 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."
