4. Before Lot and his guests could go to bed, every man in Sodom, young and old, came and stood outside his house
5. and started shouting, “Where are your visitors? Send them out, so we can have sex with them!”

8. I have two daughters who have never been married. I'll bring them out, and you can do what you want with them. But don't harm these men. They are guests in my home.”
9. “Don't get in our way,” the crowd answered. “You're an outsider. What right do you have to order us around? We'll do worse things to you than we're going to do to them.”The crowd kept arguing with Lot. Finally, they rushed towards the door to break it down.
10. But the two angels in the house reached out and pulled Lot safely inside.

14. Lot went to the men who were engaged to his daughters and said, “Hurry and get out of here! The Lord is going to destroy this city.” But they thought he was joking, and they laughed at him.
15. Early the next morning the two angels tried to make Lot hurry and leave. They said, “Take your wife and your two daughters and get out of here as fast as you can! If you don't, every one of you will be killed when the Lord destroys the city.”
