So the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house as they shut 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.
Then the two visitors said to Lot,“Who else do you have here? Do you have any sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or other relatives in the city? Get them out of this place
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.”
Then Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law who were going to marry his daughters. He said,“Quick, get out of this place because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was ridiculing them.
At dawn the angels hurried Lot along, saying,“Get going! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or else you will be destroyed when the city is judged!”
When Lot hesitated, the men grabbed his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters because the LORD had compassion on them. They led them away and placed them outside the city.
