And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. {are here: Heb. are found} {iniquity: or, punishment}

And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing {them} rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
And they said, Stand back. And they said {again}, This one {fellow} came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, {even} Lot, and came near to break the door.
And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where {are} the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
And 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.
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy {it} for ten's sake.
And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
Genesis 19
And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as {is} good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
But before they lay down, the men of the city, {even} the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for {lack of} five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy {it}.
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy {it} for twenty's sake.
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which {am but} dust and ashes:
And he said {unto him}, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do {it}, if I find thirty there.
