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.”

²⁴ “Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’ ”

²⁵ Then Moses rose and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. ²⁶ And he spoke to the congregation, saying, ^(A)“Depart now from the tents of these wicked men! Touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.” ²⁷ So they got away from around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, their sons, and their little ^(B)children.

⁴ And I heard another voice from heaven saying, ^(A)“Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

² For He says:

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

^24 (A)“Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for ^(B)many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. ^25 (C)When once the Master of the house has risen up and ^(D)shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ^(E)‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ^(F)‘I do not know you, where you are from,’

²² Hurry, escape there. For ^(A)I cannot do anything until you arrive there.”

Therefore ^(B)the name of the city was called ^[a]Zoar.

Be Faithful^(A)

⁷ Therefore, as ^(B)the Holy Spirit says:

¹⁷ So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that ^[a]he said, ^(A)“Escape for your life! ^(B)Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape ^(C)to the mountains, lest you be ^[b]destroyed.”
