Genesis 19:4-13

4But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: 5And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men who came in to thee this night? bring them out to us, that we may know them. 6And Lot went out at the door to them, and shut the door after him, 7And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 8Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out to you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only to these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. 9And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one man came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed hard upon the man, Lot, and came near to break the door. 10But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. 11And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

12And the men said to Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whomever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: 13For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them hast become great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
