Genesis 19:17 in Context — Genesis 19
15 E ao raiar a alva, os anjos davam pressa a Ló, dizendo: Levanta-te, toma tua mulher, e teus dois filhas que se acham aqui, para que não pereças no castigo da cidade.
16 E demorando-se ele, os homens pegaram por sua mão, e pela mão de sua mulher, e pelas mãos de suas duas filhas segundo a misericórdia do SENHOR para com ele; e o tiraram, e o puseram fora da cidade.
17 E foi que quando os tirou fora, disse: Escapa por tua vida; não olhes atrás de ti, nem pares toda esta planície; escapa ao monte, não seja que pereças.
18 E Ló lhes disse: Não, eu vos rogo, senhores meus;
19 Eis que agora achou teu servo favor em teus olhos, e engrandeceste tua misericórdia que fizeste comigo dando-me a vida; mas eu não poderei escapar ao monte, não seja caso que me alcance o mal e morra.
