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.
When they had brought them outside, they said,“Run for your lives! Don’t look behind you or stop anywhere in the valley! Escape to the mountains or you will be destroyed!”
But Lot said to them,“No, please, Lord!
Your servant has found favor with you, and you have shown me great kindness by sparing my life. But I am not able to escape to the mountains because this disaster will overtake me and I’ll die.
Look, this town over here is close enough to escape to, and it’s just a little one. Let me go there. It’s just a little place, isn’t it? Then I’ll survive.”
