Genesis 19:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ So Lot went out and said to his future sons-in-law who were pledged to marry his daughters, “·Hurry and leave this city [^LGet up and get out of this place]! The Lord is about to destroy it!” But ·they [^Lhis sons-in-law] thought Lot was joking.

¹⁵ ·At dawn the next morning [^LAs morning dawned], the ·angels [messengers] ·begged [urged] Lot to hurry. They said, “Go! Take your wife and your two daughters with you so you will not be ·destroyed [swept away] when the city is punished.”

¹⁶ But Lot ·delayed [lingered; dawdled]. So the two men ·took [grabbed; seized] the hands of Lot, his wife, and his two daughters and led them safely out of the city. So the Lord was merciful to Lot and his family.
