13 For we are about to destroy this place, for the cry of them is great before Jehovah, and Jehovah has sent us to destroy it.
14 And Lot went out to speak to his sons-in-law, those taking his daughters. And he said, Rise up, go out from this place, for Jehovah is about to destroy the city. And he seemed as one joking to his sons-in-law.
15 And when the dawn rose, then the angels urged Lot, saying, Rise up, take your wife and your two daughters who are found, lest you be cut off in the depravity of the city.
16 And he lingered. And the men lay hold of his hand and his wife's hand, and on the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah having mercy on him. And they caused him to go out, and they put him down outside the city.
17 And it happened as they led them outside, he said, Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, and do not stay in all the plain. Escape to the mountain, lest you be swept away.
18 And Lot said to them, Oh no, Lord!
19 Behold, 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 am not able to escape to the mountain lest some evil overtake me and I die.
20 Behold, now, this city is near, to flee there, and it is a little one. Please let me escape there! Is it not a little thing, that my soul may live?
21 And He said to him, See, I have lifted up your face also as to this thing, without overthrowing the city for which you have spoken.
22 Hurry, escape there, for I am not able to do anything until you have come there. So the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 The sun had risen on the earth, and Lot came into Zoar.
24 And Jehovah rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from Jehovah out of the heavens.
25 And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all those living in the cities, and the produce of the ground.
