Genesis 19:15-18
New American Standard Bible
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.” 18 But Lot said to them, “Oh no, my lords!

15 As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.” 16 But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, (A)the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city. 17 And as they brought them out, one said, “Escape for your life. (B)Do not look back or stop anywhere in the (C)valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away.” 18 And Lot said to them, “Oh, no, my lords.

New King James Version
15 When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, (A)“Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city.” 16 And while he lingered, the men (B)took hold of his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the (C)Lord being merciful to him, (D)and they brought him out and set him outside the city. 17 So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that [a]he said, (E)“Escape for your life! (F)Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape (G)to the mountains, lest you be [b]destroyed.”
18 Then Lot said to them, “Please, (H)no, my lords!

Holman Christian Standard Bible
15 At daybreak the angels urged Lot on: “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment[a] of the city.” 16 But he hesitated. Because of the Lord’s compassion for him, the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters. Then they brought him out and left him outside the city.
17 As soon as the angels got them outside, one of them[b] said, “Run for your lives! Don’t look back and don’t stop anywhere on the plain! Run to the mountains, or you will be swept away!”
18 But Lot said to them, “No, my lords[c]—please.

Darby Translation
15 And as the dawn arose, the angels urged Lot, saying, Up, take thy wife and thy two daughters who are present, lest thou perish in the iniquity of the city.
16 And as he lingered, the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful to him; and they led him out, and set him without the city.
17 And it came to pass when they had brought them outside, that he said, Escape for thy life: look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain: escape to the mountain, lest thou perish.
18 And Lot said to them, Not [so], I pray thee, Lord;
