Lalu keluarlah pemilik rumah itu menemui mereka dan berkata kepada mereka: "Tidak, saudara-saudaraku, janganlah kiranya berbuat jahat; karena orang ini telah masuk ke rumahku, janganlah kamu berbuat noda.
Maka orang yang punya rumah itu keluar mendapatkan mereka itu, lalu katanya: Janganlah, hai saudaraku! jangan kamu berbuat jahat ini, sedang orang itu telah masuk ke dalam rumahku; janganlah kiranya kamu berbuat perkara yang keji ini.

Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the man: Genesis 19:6, Genesis 19:7
do not this folly: Judges 20:6, Genesis 34:7, Joshua 7:15, 2 Samuel 13:12
Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 30:23 - my brethren
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them,.... Opened the door, and went out to converse with them, and talked them after this manner:
and said unto them, nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; it is plain he understood them in such sense, that they meant not bare knowledge of the man, as who he was, c. but to commit wickedness the most abominable so great, that it cannot be well said how great it is; and to dissuade from it, he uses the most tender language, and the most earnest entreaties:
seeing this man is come into my house, do not this folly; he argues from the law of hospitality, which ought not to be infringed; a man being obliged to protect a stranger under his roof; and from the nature of the crime, which was folly, stupidity, and what was abominable to the last degree.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This man is come into mine house - He appeals to the sacred rights of hospitality, just as Lot did Genesis 19:8. Both cases betray painfully the low place in the social scale occupied by woman in the old world, from which it is one of the glories of Christianity to have raised her.
