Judges 19:21-23
Contemporary English Version
21 The old man brought them into his house and fed their donkeys. Then he and his guests washed their feet[a] and began eating and drinking. 22 (A) They were having a good time, when some worthless men of that town surrounded the house and started banging on the door and shouting, “A man came to your house tonight. Send him out, so we can have sex with him!”
23 The old man went outside and said, “My friends, please don't commit such a horrible crime against a man who is a guest in my house.
