19:12. And they said to Lot: Hast thou here any of thine? son-in-law, or sons, or daughters, all that are thine bring them out of this city: 19:13. For we will destroy this place, because their cry is grown loud before the Lord, who hath sent us to destroy them. 19:14. 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. 19:15. 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. 19:16. And as he lingered, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, and of his two daughters, because the Lord spared him. 19:17. 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. 19:18. And Lot said to them: I beseech thee, my Lord, 19:19. 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. 19:20. 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? 19:21. And he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to destroy the city for which thou hast spoken. 19:22. 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. Segor... That is, a little one. 19:23. The sun was risen upon the earth, and Lot entered into Segor. 19:24. And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. 19:25. And he destroyed these cities, and all the country about, all the inhabitants of the cities, and all things that spring from the earth. 19:26. And his wife looking behind her, was turned into a statue of salt. And his wife... As a standing memorial to the servants of God to proceed in virtue, and not to look back to vice or its allurements. 19:27. And Abraham got up early in the morning, and in the place where he had stood before with the Lord: 19:28. He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and the whole land of that country: and he saw the ashes rise up from the earth as the smoke of a furnace. 19:29. Now when God destroyed the cities of that country, remembering Abraham, he delivered Lot out of the destruction of the cities wherein he had dwelt. 19:30. And Lot went up out of Segor, and abode in the mountain, and his two daughters with him (for he was afraid to stay in Segor) and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters with him.
