Revised Version 1895
Genesis 19:4-14
4But beforeH2962 they layH7901 downH7901, the menH376 of the cityH5892, evenH5704 the menH376 of SodomH5467, compassed the houseH1004 roundH5437, bothH3605 youngH5288 and oldH2205, allH3605 the peopleH5971 from everyH3605 quarter;
5and they calledH7121 unto LotH3876, and saidH559 unto him, WhereH834 are the menH376 whichH834 cameH935 in to thee this nightH3915? bringH935 them outH3318 unto usH413, that weH834 may knowH3045 them.
6And LotH3876 wentH3318 outH3318 unto them to the doorH1817, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 afterH310 him.
7And he saidH559, I prayH4994 you, my brethrenH251, doH408 notH408 soH408 wickedly.
8BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I have twoH8147 daughtersH1323 whichH834 have notH3808 knownH3045 manH376; letH4994 meH413, I prayH4994 youH834, bringH935 them outH3318 unto youH834, and doH6213 ye to them as is goodH2896 in your eyesH5869: onlyH7535 unto theseH411 menH376 doH6213 nothingH3808; forasmuch as they are comeH935 underH5921 the shadowH6738 of my roofH6982.
9And they saidH559, StandH935 backH935. And they saidH559, This one fellowH376 cameH935 in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judgeH8199: nowH6258 will weH6258 dealH3966 worse with thee, than with them. And they pressedH6484 sore uponH935 the manH376, even LotH3876, and drewH5066 nearH5066 to breakH7665 the doorH1817.
10But the menH376 putH7971 forthH7971 their handH3027, and broughtH935 LotH3876 intoH413 the houseH1004 to them, and shutH5462 to the doorH1817.
11And they smoteH5221 the menH376 that were at the doorH6607 of the houseH1004 with blindnessH5575, both smallH6996 and greatH1419: soH834 that they weariedH3811 themselvesH6607 to findH4672 the doorH6607.
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.
