Genesis 19:20 DBY

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.

²¹  And he said to him, Behold, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou hast spoken.

²²  Haste, escape thither; for I cannot do anything until thou art come there. Therefore the name of the city is called Zoar.
