Bereshis 19:13-17

For we are the mashchitim (ones destroying) this makom (place), because the cry of them is so gedolah before the face of HASHEM; and HASHEM hath sent us to destroy it. And Lot went out, and spoke unto his chosonim, which were pledged to marry his banot, and said, Up, get you out of makom hazeh; for HASHEM is mashchit (destroying) the Ir (City). But he seemed as one that metzachek (joked) unto his chosonim. And when the shachar came, then the malachim urged Lot, saying, Arise, take thy isha, and thy two banot, which are here or thou be swept away in the avon haIr. And while he lingered hesitating, the anashim laid hold upon his yad, and upon the yad of his isha, and upon the yad of his two banot; HASHEM being merciful unto him; and they brought him out and set him outside the Ir. And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth outside, that he said, Flee and escape for thy nefesh; look not back behind thee, neither stop thou anywhere in all the plain; flee and escape to the mountain, lest thou be swept away.
