"They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door."
— Genesis 19:11, World English Bible
“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 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. ”
“Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, from the youngest to the oldest, with blindness. The men outside wore themselves out trying to find the door.”
“And them, that were without, they struck with blindness from the least to the greatest, so that they could not find the door.”
“But the men who were outside the door they made blind, all of them, small and great, so that they were tired out with looking for the door.”
“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.”
See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don't do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof."
They said, "Stand back!" Then they said, "This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them!" They pressed hard on the man Lot, and drew near to break the door.
But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
The men said to Lot, "Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:
for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it."
Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, "Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
