13 for we must destroy this place, because the cry of them is great before the LORD. Wherefore he hath sent us to destroy it."
14 And Lot went out and spake unto his sons-in-law, which should have married his daughters, and said, "Stand up and get you out of this place, for the LORD will destroy the city!" But he seemed as though he had mocked, unto his sons-in-law.
15 And as the morning arose, the angels caused Lot to speed him, saying, "Stand up, take thy wife and thy two daughters and that that is at hand, lest thou perish in the sin of the city."
16 And as he prolonged the time, the men caught both him, his wife and his two daughters by the hands; because the LORD was merciful unto him, and they brought him forth and set him without the city.
17 When they had brought them out, they said, "Save thy life and look not behind thee, neither tarry thou in any place of the country, but save thyself in the mountain, lest thou perish."
18 Then said Lot unto them, "Oh nay my lord:
19 behold, inasmuch as thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, now make thy mercy great which thou showest unto me in saving my life. For I cannot save myself in the mountains, lest some misfortune fall upon me and I die.
20 Behold, here is a city by, to flee unto, and it is a little one, let me save myself therein: is it not a little one, that my soul may live?"
21 And he said to him, "See, I have received thy request as concerning this thing, that I will not overthrow this city for the which thou hast spoken.
22 Haste thee, and save thyself there, for I can do nothing till thou be come in thither." And therefore the name of the city is called Zoar.
23 And the sun was upon the earth when Lot was entered into Zoar.
24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah, brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven,
25 and overthrew those cities and all the region, and all that dwelled in the cities, and that that grew upon the earth.
