Genesis 19:17-19

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁷ As soon as the angels got them outside, one of them^[a] said, ‘Run for your lives! Don’t look back and don’t stop anywhere on the plain! Run to the mountains, or you will be swept away! ’

¹⁸ But Lot said to them, ‘No, my lords^[b] – please. ¹⁹ Your servant has indeed found favour with you, and you have shown me great kindness by saving my life. But I can’t run to the mountains; the disaster will overtake me, and I will die.
