Genesis 19:4-15

Thomson(i) 4 But before they went to rest, the men of the city, the Sodomites, surrounded the house, both young and old; all the people in a body. 5 And they called out Lot and said to him, Where are the men who came to thee this night? Bring them out to us that we may know them. 6 Whereupon Lot went out to them into the porch and shut the door after him: 7 And he said to them, You must not brethren, commit such wickedness. 8 I have two daughters who have not known man; Let me bring out these to you, and use them as you please; only do no injury to these men in as much as they have come under the shelter of my roof. 9 And they said to him, Begone there! Thou camest to sojourn, didst thou also, to be our judge? Now therefore we will treat thee worse than them. And they pressed violently against the man, Lot; and came near to break open the door. 10 Then the men stretched forth their hands and pulled Lot to them into the house and shut the door of the house, 11 and smote with blindness the men who were at the door of the house, both small and great, so that they were tired seeking the door. 12 Then the men said to Lot, Hast thou here sons in law, or sons or daughters? or if thou hast any other in this city take them out of this place, for we are going to destroy this place. 13 For their cry is come up before the Lord, and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it. 14 Upon this Lot went out and spoke to his sons in law, who had bethrothed his daughters and said, Arise and depart from this place; for the Lord is going to destroy this city. But he seemed to his sons in law to be mocking. 15 Now when it was break of day the angels hurried Lot, saying, Arise and take thy wife and thy two daughters whom thou hast, and get away, lest thou also perish for the iniquities of this city.
