Genesis 19:18-20

Darby Translation

¹⁸ And Lot said to them, Not [so], I pray thee, Lord;

¹⁹ behold now, thy servant has found favour in thine eyes, and thou hast magnified thy goodness, which thou hast shewn to me in preserving my soul alive; but I cannot escape to the mountain, lest calamity lay hold on me, that I die.

²⁰ Behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it is small: I pray thee, let me escape thither—is it not small?—and my soul shall live.
