An old story, with my 1999 version and edit

VIOLENT MEN

Lot’s Hospitality

B

y Sodom's gate at sundown, there sat Lot ‑‑Abraham's brother's son‑‑ who saw the travellers coming, who rose up for them, and bowed down to them. "I am, my lords, your servant and my home is yours, your feet to wash, to pass the night and then to go your way at morning light."  They would not, but wished to sleep full out in Sodom's square. Again Lot pressed, again and so at last they went with him. He fed them well, they shared his food.

 

The Strangers Attacked

2          But on the point of sleep, the men of Sodom came, they ringed Lot's house, the old, the young, all shouting:  "Bring the strangers out to us, we mean to show them how we get to know our guests." Out the door Lot came to bar the way. He pleaded: "No, my friends, do not abuse these men, who have the sacred place of guests within my home, for me to guard.  Instead I offer my two girls, untouched, to you.  Take both of them but do not rape these men who shelter in my house."

4          But they all bellowed,  "Foreign scum, what right have you to order us around? Stand aside or you will get it worse than them." They rushed at Lot, to break the door, but from within  the guests reached out and rescued him, shut out the shouting men, then shut their eyes from sight, struck blind the mob,  who stumbled from the door, all dark.

The Violent Cities Destroyed

5          The two men spoke to Lot: "Now take your wife and daughters, all your kinfolk, every one, and flee this place, which Yah will crush." (Lot bade the young men promised to his girls to come away with them; they only laughed, they took him for a joker).

6          With dawning light the sheltered guests were urging Lot to go, go soon, before the city was a ruin, but he balked. They took him by the hand, his wife, his girls, and pulled them from the town. “Run to the hills, run for your life, never look back”; this was their warning.

7          And with the sun now rising, burning, Yah gushed blazing sulphur on the land, on Sodom, on Gomorrah, all the valley, all the humans, all the green.

8          Lot's wife recalled them now‑‑ her cattle and her neighbors‑‑ she turned around, looked back, she saw and stood stock still, recast in solid salt. 

9          At morning Abraham looked up. He saw the spreading vapors from the land, a smoking furnace now. Up he ran, to stand upon the place where he had words with Yah, looked down into the valley and he saw, saw the deed the god had done.

Lot’s Daughters

10        Lot lived in a cave, his two daughters with him. The elder told the younger: “There are no men for us to wed, as women do in all the world. Our father's old. With wine we can seduce him, then at least we'll bear him sons.”  One night the elder, next night the younger, they gave their father wine to make him sleep, then went and mounted him, conceived and bore two sons, one each. Moab and Ammon were their names.  Moabites and Ammonites,  no friends to Abraham’s descendants, have their root in these two sons of Lot and his daughters.
