Genesis 19:19

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight (cf. ), and thou hast magnified thy mercy (language inappropriate to be addressed to the angels, though exactly suitable if applied by Lot to Jehovah), which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil (more correctly, the evil, i.

e. the destruction threatened upon Sodom) take me, and I die.
