Genesis 19:4-11

4Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, from the youngest to the oldest — all the people from every quarter.

5And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that have come in to thee to-night? bring them out to us that we may know them.

6And Lot went out to them to the entrance, and shut the door after him,

7and said, I pray you, my brethren, do not wickedly!

8Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known a man: let me now bring them out to you; and do to them as is good in your sight: only, to these men do nothing; for therefore have they come under the shadow of my roof.

9And they said, Back there! And they said [again], This one came to sojourn, and he must be a judge? Now we will deal worse with thee than with them. And they pressed hard on the man — on Lot; and drew near to break the door.

10And the men stretched out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.

11And they smote the men that were at the entrance of the house with blindness, from the smallest to the greatest; and they wearied themselves to find the entrance.
