Genesis 19:16-19
19:16 When Lot
hesitated, the men grabbed his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters because the
Lord had compassion on them.
They led them away and placed them
outside the city.
19:17 When they had brought them outside, they
said, “Run
for your lives! Don’t look
behind you or stop anywhere in the valley!
Escape to the mountains or you will be destroyed!”
19:18 But Lot said to them, “No, please, Lord!
19:19 Your servant has found favor with you, and you have shown me great kindness by sparing my life. But I am not able to escape to the mountains because this disaster will overtake me and I’ll die.
