Genesis 19:5–13

⁵They called out to Lot and said, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Send them out to us so we can have sex with them!”^a

⁶Lot went out to them at the entrance and shut the door behind him. ⁷He said, “Don’t do this evil, my brothers. ⁸Look, I’ve got two daughters who haven’t been intimate with a man.^b I’ll bring them out to you, and you can do whatever you want^A to them. However, don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the protection of my roof.”

⁹“Get out of the way!” they said, adding, “This one came here as an alien, but he’s acting like a judge!^c Now we’ll do more harm to you than to them.” They put pressure on Lot and came up to break down the door. ¹⁰But the angels reached out, brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. ¹¹They struck the men who were at the entrance of the house, both young and old, with blindness^A so that they were unable to find the entrance.^d

¹²Then the angels said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here: a son-in-law, your sons and daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of this place, ¹³for we are about to destroy this place because the outcry against its people is so great before the Lord, that the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”^e
