Genesis 19:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ Because thy servant hath found grace before thee, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewn to me, in saving my life, and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil seize me, and I die:

²⁰ There is this city here at hand, to which I may flee, it is a little one, and I shall be saved in it: is it not a little one, and my soul shall live?

²¹ And he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to destroy the city for which thou hast spoken.
