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

    5They called to Lot, and said to him, "Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them."

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

    7He said, "Please, my brothers, don't act so wickedly.

    8See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don't do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof."

    9They said, "Stand back!" Then they said, "This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them!" They pressed hard on the man Lot, and drew near to break the door.

    10But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.

    11They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

    12The men said to Lot, "Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:

    13for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it."

    14Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, "Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.

    15When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, "Get up! Take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city."

    16But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife's hand, and his two daughters' hands, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.

    17It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, "Escape for your life! Don't look behind you, and don't stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!"

    18Lot said to them, "Oh, not so, my lord.
