5. They called to Lot, “Where are the two men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so we can have sexual relations with them.”
6. Lot went outside to them, closing the door behind him.
7. He said, “No, my brothers! Do not do this evil thing.
8. Look! I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. I will give them to you, and you may do anything you want with them. But please don’t do anything to these men. They have come to my house, and I must protect them.”
9. The men around the house answered, “Move out of the way!” Then they said to each other, “This man Lot came to our city as a stranger, and now he wants to tell us what to do!” They said to Lot, “We will do worse things to you than to them.” They started pushing him back and were ready to break down the door.
10. But the two men staying with Lot opened the door, pulled him back inside the house, and then closed the door.
11. They struck those outside the door with blindness, so the men, both young and old, could not find the door.
