"And the old man responded to him: “Peace be with you. I will provide all that is necessary. Only, I beg you, do not stay in the street.” "
— Judges 19:20, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.”
“And the old man said, Peace be unto thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street. ”
“The old man said, "Peace be to you; howsoever let all your wants lie on me; only don't lodge in the street."”
“The old man said,“Everything is just fine! I will take care of all your needs. But don’t spend the night in the town square.””
“And the old man answered him: Peace be with thee: I will furnish all things that are necessary: only I beseech thee, stay not in the street.”
“And the old man said, Peace be with you; let all your needs be my care; only do not take your rest in the street.”
“And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.”
And the old man, lifting up his eyes, saw the man sitting with his bundles in the street of the city. And he said to him: “Where have you come from? And where are you going?”
He answered him: “We set out from Bethlehem of Judah, and we are traveling to our own place, which is beside mount Ephraim. From there we went to Bethlehem, and now we go to the house of God. But no one is willing to receive us under his roof.
We have straw and hay as fodder for the donkeys, and we have bread and wine for the use of myself, and for your handmaid and the servant who is with me. We lack nothing except lodging.”
And the old man responded to him: “Peace be with you. I will provide all that is necessary. Only, I beg you, do not stay in the street.”
And he led him into his house, and he gave fodder to his donkeys. And after they had washed their feet, he received them with a banquet.
And while they were feasting, and were refreshing their bodies with food and drink after the labor of the journey, the men of that city, sons of Belial (that is, without yoke), came and surrounded the old man’s house. And they began to knock at the door, calling out to the lord of the house, and saying, “Bring out the man who entered your house, so that we may abuse him.”
And the old man went out to them, and he said: “Do not choose, brothers, do not choose to do this evil. For this man has entered to my hospitality. And you must cease from this senselessness.
