15 When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the [a]punishment of the city.” 16 But he hesitated. So the men (A)grasped his hand and the hand of his wife and the [b]hands of his two daughters, because (B)the compassion of the Lord was upon him; and they brought him out and put him outside the city. 17 When they had brought them outside, [c]one said, “(C)Escape for your life! (D)Do not look behind you, and do not stay [d]anywhere in the (E)surrounding area; escape to (F)the [e]mountains, or you will be swept away.”
