Genesis 19:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ But Lot said to one of them, “Sir, please don’t force me to go so far! ¹⁹ You have been merciful and kind to me and have saved my life. But I can’t run to the mountains. The disaster will catch me, and I will die. ²⁰ Look, that little town over there is not too far away. Let me run there. It’s really just a little town, and I’ll be safe there.”
