    3But he pressed upon them greatly, so they turned to him and entered his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

    4But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.

    5And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.

    6And Lot went out to them at the door, and shut the door after him.

    7And said, I pray you, brothers, do not do so wickedly.

    8Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; let me, I pray you, bring them to you, and do to them as seems good in your eyes: only do nothing to these men; for they have come under the shadow of my roof.

    9And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one came here to stay, and he will act as a judge: now we will deal worse with you than with them. And they pressed hard against Lot, and came near to break the door.

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

    11And they struck the men at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they tired themselves trying to find the door.

    12And the men said to Lot, Do you have anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and anyone you have in the city, bring them out of this place.

    13For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.

    14So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, Get up, get out of this place, for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed to his sons-in-law as one who mocked.

    15And when the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

    16And while he lingered, the men grabbed his hand, his wife's hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.

    17And it came to pass, when they had brought them out, that he said, Escape for your life; do not look behind you, nor stay anywhere in the plain; escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed.

    18And Lot said to them, Oh, not so, my Lord.

    19Behold now, your servant has found grace in your sight, and you have magnified your mercy, which you have shown to me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil overtake me and I die.
