19:12 The two men said to Lot, “If you have anyone else here – sons, daughters, son-in-law, or any other relatives living in the city – get them out of here,
19:13 because we are going to destroy this place. The LORD has heard the terrible accusations against these people and has sent us to destroy Sodom.”
19:14 The Lot went to the men that his daughters were going to marry, and said, “Hurry up and get out of here; the LORD is going to destroy this place.” But they thought he was joking.
19:15 At dawn the angels tried to make Lot hurry. “Quick!” they said. “Take your wife and your two daughters and get out, so that you will not lose your lives when the city is destroyed.”
19:16 Lot hesitated. The LORD, however, had pity on him; so the men took him. His wife, and his two daughter by the hand and led them out of the city.
19:17 Then one of the angels said, “Run for your lives! Don’t look back and don’t stop in the valley. Run to the hills, so that you won’t be killed.”
19:18 But Lot answered, “No, please don’t make us do that, sir.
19:19 You have done me a great favor and saved my life. But the hills are too far away; the disaster will overtake me, and I will die before I get there.
19:20 Do you see that little town? It is near enough. Let me go over there – you can see it is just a small place – and I will be safe.”
19:21 He answered, “All right, agree. I won’t destroy that town.
19:22 Hurry! Run! I can’t do anything until you get there.” Because Lot called it small, the town was named Zoar
