And aid, I pray you, brethren, do not o wickedly.

Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto thee men do nothing; for therefore came they under the hadow of my roof.

And they aid, Stand back. And they aid again, This one fellow came in to ojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal wore with thee, than with them. And they preed ore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the houe to them, and hut to the door.

And they mote the men that were at the door of the houe with blindnes, both mall and great: o that they wearied themelves to find the door.

¶ And the men aid unto Lot, Hat thou here any beides? on in law, and thy ons, and thy daughters, and whatoever thou hat in the city, bring them out of this place:

For we will detroy this place, becaue the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the ; and the hath ent us to detroy it.

And Lot went out, and pake unto his ons in law, which married his daughters, and aid, Up, get you out of this place; for the will detroy this city. But he eemed as one that mocked unto his ons in law.

And when the morning aroe, then the angels hatened Lot, aying, Arie, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, † which are here; let thou be conumed in the ‖ iniquity of the city.

And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and et him without the city.

And it came to pas, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he aid, Ecape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither tay thou in all the plain; ecape to the mountain, let thou be conumed.

And Lot aid unto them, Oh, not o, my Lord:

Behold now, thy ervant hath found grace in thy ight, and thou hat magnified thy mercy, which thou hat hewed unto me in aving my life; and I cannot ecape to the mountain, let ome evil take me, and I die:

Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me ecape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my oul hall live.

And he aid unto him, See, I have accepted † thee concerning this thing alo, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hat poken.

Hate thee, ecape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called ‖ Zoar.

¶ Then the rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimtone and fire from the  out of heaven;

And he overthrew thoe cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

¶ And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he tood before the :

And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the moke of the country went up as the moke of a furnace.

And it came to pas, when God detroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and ent Lot out of the midt of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

¶ And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preerve eed of our father.

And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firtborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when he lay down, nor when he aroe.

And it came to pas on the morrow, that the firtborn aid unto the younger, Behold, I lay yeternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night alo; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preerve eed of our father.
