Genesis 19:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ But Lot kept lingering in the city,^[a] so the men^[b] grabbed his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters (because of the Lord’s compassion for him!), brought them out of the city, and left them outside. ¹⁷ Then one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back or stop anywhere on the plain. Escape to the hills, or you’ll be swept away!”

¹⁸ “No! Please, my lords!” Lot pleaded with them.
