Genesis 19:2-15

2and he saidH559, Behold now, my lordsH113, turnH5493 asideH5493, I pray you, into your servant’sH5650 houseH1004, and tarry all night, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and ye shall riseH7925 up earlyH7925, and goH1980 on your wayH1870. And they saidH559, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. 3And he urged them greatly; and they turnedH5493 in unto him, and entered into his houseH1004; and he madeH6213 them a feastH4960, and did bakeH644 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, and they did eatH398. 4But before they layH7901 downH7901, the menH376 of the cityH5892, even the menH376 of SodomH5467, compassed the houseH1004 roundH5437, both youngH5288 and oldH2205, all the peopleH5971 from every quarter; 5and they calledH7121 unto LotH3876, and saidH559 unto him, WhereH834 are the menH376 that cameH935 in to thee this nightH3915? bringH935 them out unto us, that we may knowH3045 them. 6And LotH3876 wentH3318 out unto them to the doorH1817, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 after him. 7And he saidH559, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly. 8Behold now, I have twoH8147 daughtersH1323 that have not knownH3045 manH376; let me, I pray you, bringH935 them out unto you, and do ye to them as is goodH2896 in your eyesH5869: onlyH7535 unto these menH376 do nothing, forasmuch as they are comeH935 under the shadowH6738 of my roof. 9And they saidH559, Stand back. And they saidH559, This oneH259 fellow cameH935 in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judgeH8199: nowH6258 will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the manH376, even LotH3876, and drewH5066 near to breakH7665 the doorH1817. 10But the menH376 put forthH7971 their handH3027, and broughtH935 LotH3876 into the houseH1004 to them, and shutH5462 to the doorH1817. 11And they smote the menH376 that were at the doorH6607 of the houseH1004 with blindnessH5575, both smallH6996 and greatH1419, so that they weariedH3811 themselves to findH4672 the doorH6607.

12And the menH376 saidH559 unto LotH3876, Hast thou hereH6311 any besides? son-in-law, and thy sonsH1121, and thy daughtersH1323, and whomsoever thou hast in the cityH5892, bringH3318 them out of the placeH4725: 13for we will destroyH7843 this placeH4725, because the cryH6818 of them is waxed greatH1431 before Jehovah; and Jehovah hath sentH7971 us to destroyH7843 it. 14And LotH3876 wentH3318 out, and spake unto his sons-in-law, who married his daughtersH1323, and saidH559, Up, get you out of this placeH4725; for Jehovah will destroyH7843 the cityH5892. But he seemed unto his sons-in-law as oneH2088 that mocked. 15And when the morning aroseH6965, then the angelsH4397 hastened LotH3876, sayingH559, AriseH6965, takeH3947 thy wifeH802, and thy twoH8147 daughtersH1323 that are here, lestH6435 thou be consumed in the iniquityH5771 of the cityH5892.
