#Genesis19 #Wycliffe #Bible (#WYC) 17 There they spake to him, and said, Save thou thy life; do not thou behold behind thy back, neither stand thou in all the country(side) about, but make thee safe in the hill(s); lest also thou perish (al)together. (And they spoke to him there, and said, Save thou thy life; do not thou look behind thy back, nor stand thou in all the #countryside about, but make thee safe in the hills; lest also thou altogether perish.) 18 And #Lot said to them, My Lord (My lords), I beseech, 19 for thy servant hath found grace before thee, and thou hast magnified thy #graceAndMercy, which thou hast done to me, (so) that thou shouldest save my life, (I am most grateful); (but) I may not be saved in the hill(s), lest peradventure evil (over)take me, and I die (but I cannot be saved in the hills, for before that I can get there, the destruction shall surely overtake me, and I shall die); 20 a #littleCity is here beside (there is a little city here), to which I may flee, and I shall be safe therein; whether it is not (such) a little city? and my soul shall live therein. 21 And he said to Lot, Lo! also in this I have received thy prayers, that I destroy not the city, for which thou hast spoken; (And he said to Lot, Lo! also in this I have received thy prayers, and I shall not destroy #theCity, of which thou hast spoken;) 22 haste thee, and be thou saved there, for I may not do anything till thou enter [in] thither. Therefore the name of that city was called #Zoar. (haste thee, and be thou made safe there, for I shall not do anything until thou hast entered in there. And so that is why that city was called Zoar, or Small.) https://biblegateway/passage/?search=Genesis+19&version=WYC
