MLV(i)
13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them has been great before Jehovah. And Jehovah has sent us to destroy it.
14 And Lot went out and spoke to his sons in-law, who married his daughters and said, Up, you* get out of this place, because Jehovah will destroy the city. But he seemed as a man jesting, to his sons-in-law.
15 And when the morning arose, then the messengers hurried Lot, saying, Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are found here, lest you are consumed in the iniquity of the city. 16 But he lingered. And the men laid hold upon his hand and upon the hand of his wife and upon the hand of his two daughters, because Jehovah was being merciful to him and they brought him forth and set him outside the city.
17 And it happened, when they had brought them outside, that he said, Escape for your life. Do not look behind you, neither will you stay in all the Plain. Escape to the mountain, lest you are consumed.
18 And Lot said to them, Oh, not so, my lord. 19 Behold now, your servant has found favor in your sight and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me and I die. 20 Behold now, this city is near to flee to and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (is it not a little one?) and my soul will live.
21 And he said to him, Behold, I have lifted up you concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. 22 You hasten, escape there, because I cannot do anything till you have come there. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar. 24 Then Jehovah rained brimstone and fire upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah, from Jehovah out of heaven. 25 And he overthrew those cities and all the Plain and all the inhabitants of the cities and what grew upon the ground.
