19:17 领他们出来以后,就说,逃命吧。不可回头看,也不可在平原站住。要往山上逃跑,免得你被剿灭。
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities
