Genesis 19:19-24 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

22. Make haste and be saved there, because I cannot do any thing till thou go in thither. Therefore the name of that city was called Segor.

23. The sun was risen upon the earth, and Lot entered into Segor.

24. And the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.
