Genesis
19:12-17 New King James Version (NKJV)

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—take
them out of this place! 13 For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them
has grown great before the face of the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”

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

15 When the morning
dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, “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 took hold
of his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him
outside the city. 17 So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he
said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the
mountains, lest you be destroyed.”
