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.  
17 So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that1 he said, a“Escape for your life! bDo not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape cto the mountains, lest you be destroyed.”  
18 Then Lot said to them, “Please, ano, my lords!  
19 Indeed now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have increased your mercy which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, lest some evil overtake me and I die.
20 See now, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one; please let me escape there (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.”
21 And he said to him, “See, aI have favored you concerning this thing also, in that I will not overthrow this city for which you have spoken.  
22 Hurry, escape there. For aI cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore bthe name of the city was called1 Zoar.  
23 The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered Zoar.
24 Then the Lord rained abrimstone and bfire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens.  
25 So He1 overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and awhat grew on the ground.  
26 But his wife looked back behind him, and she became aa pillar of salt.  
27 And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where ahe had stood before the Lord.
