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. 19:31. And the elder said to the younger: Our father is old, and there is no man left on the earth, to come in unto us after the manner of the whole earth. 19:32. Come, let us make him drunk with wine, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 19:33. And they made their father drink wine that night: and the elder went in, and lay with her father: but he perceived not, neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up. 19:34. And the next day the elder said to the younger: Behold I lay last night with my father, let us make him drink wine also to night, and thou shalt lie with him, that we may save seed of our father. 19:35. They made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and lay with him: and neither then did he perceive when she lay down, nor when she rose up.
