International Standard Version
23 The man who owned the house went out to talk to them and pleaded with them, “No, my brothers, please don’t act so wickedly. This man is my guest! Don’t try to do this stupid thing. 24 Instead, here’s my virgin daughter and my visitor’s[a] mistress. Please let me bring them out to you. Occupy yourselves with them, and do to them whatever you would like. But don’t commit such a stupid thing against this man.”

Judges 19:23-25
New International Version
23 The owner of the house went outside(A) and said to them, “No, my friends, don’t be so vile. Since this man is my guest, don’t do this outrageous thing.(B) 24 Look, here is my virgin daughter,(C) and his concubine. I will bring them out to you now, and you can use them and do to them whatever you wish. But as for this man, don’t do such an outrageous thing.”
25 But the men would not listen to him. So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her(D) and abused her(E) throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go.
