Genesis 19:12-23
12And the menH376 saidH559 unto LotH3876, Hast thou hereH6311 anyH3605 besidesH5750? sonH1121 in law, and thy sonsH1121, and thy daughtersH1323, and whomsoever thou hast in the cityH5892; bringH3318 them outH3318 of the placeH4725:
13for weH587 will destroyH7843 this placeH4725, becauseH3588 the cryH6818 of them is waxen greatH1431 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; and the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 usH3588 to destroyH7843 it.
14And LotH3876 wentH3318 outH3318, and spake unto his sons in law, whichH5869 marriedH3947 his daughtersH1323, and saidH559, UpH6965, getH3947 youH3588 outH3318 of this placeH4725; for the LORDH3068 will destroyH7843 the cityH5892. But he seemedH5869 unto his sons in law as one that mocked.
15And when the morningH7837 aroseH6965, then the angelsH4397 hastened LotH3876, sayingH559, AriseH6965, takeH3947 thy wifeH802, and thy twoH8147 daughtersH1323 whichH802 are hereH4672; lestH6435 thou be consumed in the iniquityH5771 of the cityH5892.
16But he lingered; and the menH376 laidH2388 holdH2388 uponH5921 his handH3027, and uponH5921 the handH3027 of his wifeH802, and uponH5921 the handH3027 of his twoH8147 daughtersH1323; the LORDH3068 being merciful unto him: and they broughtH3318 him forthH3318, and setH3318 him without the cityH5892.
17And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when they had broughtH3318 them forthH3318 abroadH2351, that he saidH559, EscapeH4422 for thy lifeH5315; lookH5027 notH408 behindH310 thee, neitherH408 stayH5975 thou in allH3605 the PlainH3603; escapeH4422 to the mountainH2022, lestH6435 thou be consumed.
18And LotH3876 saidH559 unto them, OhH4994, notH408 soH408, my lordH136:
19beholdH2009 nowH4994, thy servantH5650 hath foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, and thou hast magnifiedH1431 thy mercy, whichH834 thou hast shewed unto meH4994 in saving my lifeH5315; and I cannotH3808 escapeH4422 to the mountainH2022, lestH6435 evilH7451 overtakeH4672 meH4994, and I dieH4191:
20beholdH2009 nowH4994, this cityH5892 is nearH7138 to fleeH5127 unto, and it is a littleH4705 one: OhH4994, letH4994 meH4994 escapeH4422 thither, (is it notH3808 a littleH4705 one?) and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421.
21And he saidH559 unto him, SeeH2009, I have accepted thee concerning this thingH1697 also, that I will notH1115 overthrowH2015 the cityH5892 of whichH834 thou hast spokenH1696.
22HasteH4116 thee, escapeH4422 thither; for I cannotH3808 doH6213 anyH3588 thingH1697 tillH5704 thou be comeH935 thither. Therefore the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 was calledH7121 ZoarH6820.
23The sunH8121 was risenH3318 uponH5921 the earthH776 when LotH3876 cameH935 unto ZoarH6820.
