Genesis 19:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ And when they had brought them forth, they said, Escape for your life! Do not look behind you or stop anywhere in ^[a]the whole valley; escape to the mountains [of Moab], lest you be consumed.

¹⁸ And Lot said to them, Oh, not that, my lords!

¹⁹ Behold now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your kindness and mercy to me in saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, lest the evil overtake me, and I die.
