Genesis 19:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ because we are about to destroy this ·city [^Lplace]. ·The Lord has heard of all the evil that is here [^LGreat is the outcry against them before the Lord], so he has sent us to destroy it.”

¹⁴ So Lot went out and said to his future sons-in-law who were pledged to marry his daughters, “·Hurry and leave this city [^LGet up and get out of this place]! The Lord is about to destroy it!” But ·they [^Lhis sons-in-law] thought Lot was joking.

¹⁵ ·At dawn the next morning [^LAs morning dawned], the ·angels [messengers] ·begged [urged] Lot to hurry. They said, “Go! Take your wife and your two daughters with you so you will not be ·destroyed [swept away] when the city is punished.”
