1599 Geneva Bible
20 See now this city hereby to flee unto, which is a little one: Oh let me escape thither: is it not a [a]little one, and my soul shall live?
21 Then he said unto him, Behold, I have received [b]thy request also concerning this thing, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
22 Haste thee, save thee there: for I can do [c]nothing till thou come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called [d]Zoar.

New International Version
20 Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.”
21 He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request(A) too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. 22 But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.[a](B))
