English Standard Version

¹⁷ And as they brought them out, one said, “Escape for your life. ^(A)Do not look back or stop anywhere in the ^(B)valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away.” ¹⁸ And Lot said to them, “Oh, no, my lords. ¹⁹ Behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die.
