9“Get out of the way!” they replied. And they declared, “This one came here as a foreigner, and he is already acting like a judge! Now we will treat you worse than them.” And they pressed in on Lot and moved in to break down the door.
10But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.
11And they struck the men at the entrance, young and old, with blindness, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the door.
12Then the two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—a son-in-law, your sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here,
13because we are about to destroy this place. For the outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that He has sent us to destroy it.”
