    5 And 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.

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

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

    8 Behold 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.

    9 And 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.

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

    11 And 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.

    12 And 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.

    13 For 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.

    14 So 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.

    15 And 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.

    16 And 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.

    17 And 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.

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