So Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law that were to have his daughters, and said: Arise: get you out of this place, because the Lord will destroy this city. And he seemed to them to speak as it were in jest.
15
And when it was morning, the angels pressed him, saying: Arise, take thy wife, and the two daughters that thou hast: lest thou also perish in the wickedness of the city.
16
And as he lingered, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, and of his two daughters, because the Lord spared him.
17
And they brought him forth, and set him without the city: and there they spoke to him, saying: Save thy life: look not back, neither stay thou in all the country about: but save thy self in the mountain, lest thou be also consumed.
18
And Lot said to them: I beseech thee, my Lord,
19
Because thy servant hath found grace before thee, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewn to me, in saving my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil seize me, and I die.
20
There is this city here at hand, to which I may flee, it is a little one, and I shall be saved in it: is it not a little one, and my soul shall live?
21
And he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to destroy the city for which thou hast spoken.
22
Make haste, and be saved there: because I cannot do any thing till thou go in thither. Therefore the name of that city was called Segor.
23
The sun was risen upon the earth, and Lot entered into Segor.
24
And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
