Genesis 19:18-20

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁸ But Lot said to them, ‘No, my lords^[a] – please. ¹⁹ Your servant has indeed found favour with you, and you have shown me great kindness by saving my life. But I can’t run to the mountains; the disaster will overtake me, and I will die. ²⁰ Look, this town is close enough for me to flee to. It is a small place. Please let me run to it – it’s only a small place, isn’t it? – so that I can survive.’
