Genesis 19:15-17

15When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the 1punishment of the city.”

16But he hesitated. So the men 2grasped his hand and the hand of his wife and the 3hands of his two daughters, because 4the compassion of the Lord was upon him; and they brought him out and put him outside the city.

17When they had brought them outside, 5one said, “6Escape for your life! 7Do not look behind you, and do not stay 8anywhere in the 9surrounding area; escape to 10the 11mountains, or you will be swept away.”
