"For we will eliminate this place, because the outcry among them has increased before the Lord, who sent us to destroy them.” "
— Genesis 19:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.”
“for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxed great before Jehovah; and Jehovah hath sent us to destroy it. ”
“for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it."”
“because we are about to destroy it. The outcry against this place is so great before the LORD that he has sent us to destroy it.””
“For we will destroy this place, because their cry is grown loud before the Lord, who hath sent us to destroy them.”
“For we are about to send destruction on this place, because a great outcry against them has come to the ears of the Lord; and the Lord has sent us to put an end to the town.”
“For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.”
And behold, the men put out their hand, and they pulled Lot in to them, and they closed the door.
And they struck those who were outside with blindness, from the least to the greatest, so that they were not able to find the door.
Then they said to Lot: “Do you have here anyone of yours? All who are yours, sons-in-law, or sons, or daughters, bring them out of this city.
For we will eliminate this place, because the outcry among them has increased before the Lord, who sent us to destroy them.”
And so Lot, going out, spoke to his sons-in-law, who were going to receive his daughters, and he said: “Rise up. Depart from this place. For the Lord will destroy this city.” And it seemed to them that he was speaking playfully.
And when it was morning, the Angels compelled him, saying, “Arise, take your wife, and the two daughters that you have, lest you also should perish amid the wickedness of the city.”
And, since he ignored them, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, as well as that of his two daughters, because the Lord was sparing him.
