We are about to destroy it. The outcry against this place has grown so great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it.”
In context
11Then they struck the men at the entrance of the house with blindness, from the least to the greatest, until they wore themselves out trying to find the door. 12The men said to Lot, “Who else do you have here — a son-in-law, sons, daughters, anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of this place. 13We are about to destroy it. The outcry against this place has grown so great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it.” 14So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were engaged to marry his daughters. “Get up,” he said, “get out of this place — Yahweh is about to destroy the city.” But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking. 15As dawn broke, the angels urged Lot on. “Get up,” they said, “take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.”
