GE-19:1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat
in
the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing [them] rose up to meet them;
and he
bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
GE-19:2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you,
into
your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet,
and ye
shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay;
but we
will abide in the street all night.
GE-19:3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in
unto
him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and
did
bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
GE-19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, [even]
the men
of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the
people from every quarter:
GE-19:5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where
[are] the
men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us,
that we
may know them.
GE-19:6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the
door
after him,
GE-19:7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
GE-19:8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known
man;
let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them
as [is]
good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore
came
they under the shadow of my roof.
GE-19:9 And they said, Stand back. And they said [again], This
one
[fellow] came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now
will we
deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon
the
man, [even] Lot, and came near to break the door.
GE-19:10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into
the
house to them, and shut to the door.
GE-19:11 And they smote the men that [were] at the door of the
house
with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied
themselves
to find the door.
GE-19:12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides?
son
in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou
hast in
the city, bring [them] out of this place:
GE-19:13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of
them is
waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent
us to
destroy it.
GE-19:14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which
married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place;
for
the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that
mocked unto
his sons in law.
GE-19:15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened
Lot,
saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are
here;
lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
GE-19:16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand,
and
upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two
daughters; the
LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and
set him
without the city.
GE-19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth
abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee,
neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest
thou
be consumed.
GE-19:18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
GE-19:19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight,
and
thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me in
saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some
evil
take me, and I die:
GE-19:20 Behold now, this city [is] near to flee unto, and it
[is] a
little one: Oh, let me escape thither, ([is] it not a little
one?) and
my soul shall live.
GE-19:21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee
concerning
this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the
which
thou hast spoken.
GE-19:22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing
till
thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called
Zoar.
GE-19:23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into
Zoar.
GE-19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah
brimstone
and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
GE-19:25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and
all
the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the
ground.
GE-19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she
became a
pillar of salt.
GE-19:27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place
where
he stood before the LORD:
GE-19:28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward
all the
land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country
went
