Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed

12 Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city—^atake them out of this place!

13 For we will destroy this place, because the ^aoutcry against them has grown great before the face of the Lord, and ^bthe Lord has sent us to destroy it.”

14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, ^awho had married his daughters, and said, ^b“Get up, get out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city!” ^cBut to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.

15 When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, ^a“Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city.”

16 And while he lingered, the men ^atook hold of his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the ^bLord being merciful to him, ^cand they brought him out and set him outside the city.
