Genesis 19:4-13
4Before they lay down, 1the men of the city--the men of Sodom--surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people 2from every quarter; 5and they called to Lot and said to him, “3Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may 4have relations with them.” 6But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, 7and said, “Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. 8Now look, 5I have two daughters who have not 6had relations with any man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them 7whatever you like; only do not do anything to these men, because they have come under the 8shelter of my roof.” 9But they said, “Get out of the way!” They also said, “This one came in 9as a foreigner, and already 10he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them!” So they pressed hard against 11Lot and moved forward to break the door. 10But 12the men reached out their 13hands and brought Lot into the house 14with them, and shut the door. 11Then 15they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, from the small to the great, so that they became weary of trying to find the doorway.
12Then the two men said to Lot, “Whom else do you have here? A son-in-law and your sons and daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place; 13for we are about to destroy this place, because 16their outcry has become so great before the Lord that 17the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”
