Judges 19:18-20

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁸ The Levite said to him, “We are traveling from Bethlehem of Judah to a remote part of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there. I traveled as far as Bethlehem of Judah, and now I am going to the House of the Lord, but there is no one who will take me into his house. ¹⁹ We even have straw and fodder for our donkeys, and we also have enough bread and wine for me, for your servant my wife, and for the young man. We, your servants, are lacking nothing.”

²⁰ At this the old man said, “Peace be with you. Anything you lack will be my responsibility—only do not spend the night in the city square.”
