“Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.
Genesis 19:21 · BSB
The verses around it, from Genesis 19.
17 As soon as the men had brought them out, one of them said, “Run for your lives! Do not look back, and do not stop anywhere on the plain! Flee to the mountains, or you will be swept away!”
18 But Lot replied, “No, my lords, please!
19 Your servant has indeed found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness by sparing my life. But I cannot run to the mountains; the disaster will overtake me, and I will die.
20 Look, there is a town nearby where I can flee, and it is a small place. Please let me flee there—is it not a small place? Then my life will be saved.”
21 “Very well,” he answered, “I will grant this request as well, and will not demolish the town you indicate.
22 Hurry! Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you reach it.” That is why the town was called Zoar.
23 And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.

25 Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.
