13 For their cry is come up before the Lord, and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.
14 Upon this Lot went out and spoke to his sons in law, who had bethrothed his daughters and said, Arise and depart from this place; for the Lord is going to destroy this city. But he seemed to his sons in law to be mocking.
15 Now when it was break of day the angels hurried Lot, saying, Arise and take thy wife and thy two daughters whom thou hast, and get away, lest thou also perish for the iniquities of this city.
16 But they were confounded. So the angels took hold of his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, as the Lord spared him.
17 And having led them out they said, Escape for thy life. Look not back, nor stop in any part of the plain around. Escape to the mountains, lest peradventure thou be overtaken.
18 Thereupon Lot said to them, I beseech thee, Lord,
19 since thy servant hath found favour in thy sight and thou hast magnified thy kindness in what thou dost for me to save my life. I cannot escape to the mountains. Peradventure the calamity may overtake me and I shall die.
20 Behold that city is nigh for me to flee to. It is little and thither I can escape. Is it not little? And my soul shall live by thy means.
21 And he said, Behold I have indulged thee also in this matter, so as not to destroy that city of which thou hast spoken.
22 Haste therefore to escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou get there. For this cause he called the name of that city, Segor.
23 The sun was risen on the earth when Lot entered Segor;
24 and the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorra brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
25 And he overthrew these cities, and all the circumjacent country, and all the inhabitants of those cities, and all the productions of the ground.
