11 they struck the men at the entrance of the house, small and great, with such a blinding light[a] that they were utterly unable to find the doorway.
12 Then the guests said to Lot: “Who else belongs to you here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, all who belong to you in the city—take them away from this place!(A) 13 We are about to destroy this place, for the outcry reaching the Lord against those here is so great that the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”(B)

12 The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you?(B) Get them out of here, 13 because we(C) are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great(D) that he has sent us to destroy it.”(E)
