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 up
as the smoke
of a furnace.
GE-19:29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of
the plain,
that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of
the overthrow,
when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
