Genesis 19:7-9
Legacy Standard Bible
7 and said, “Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. 8 Now behold, (A)I have two daughters who have not known a man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them what is good in your eyes; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the [a]shelter of my roof.” 9 But they said, “Step aside.” Furthermore, they said, “This one came to sojourn, and already (B)he is persistently acting like a judge; now we will treat you more wickedly than them.” So they pressed hard against [b]Lot and stepped up to break the door.

Genesis 19:7-9
New International Version
7 and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”(A)
9 “Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner,(B) and now he wants to play the judge!(C) We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
