Genesis 19:11-13
New English Translation

11 Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, from the youngest to the oldest,[a] with blindness. The men outside[b] wore themselves out trying to find the door. 12 Then the two visitors[c] said to Lot, “Who else do you have here?[d] Do you have[e] any sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or other relatives in the city?[f] Get them out of this[g] place 13 because we are about to destroy[h] it. The outcry against this place[i] is so great before the Lord that he[j] has sent us to destroy it.”
