Genesis 19:19
Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
KJV
quia invenit servus tuus gratiam coram te, et magnificasti misericordiam tuam quam fecisti mecum, ut salvares animam meam, nec possum in monte salvari, ne forte apprehendat me malum, et moriar :
Vulgate
ἐπειδὴ εὗρεν ὁ παῖς σου ἔλεος ἐναντίον σου καὶ ἐμεγάλυνας τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου, ὃ ποιεῖς ἐπ’ ἐμέ, τοῦ ζῇν τὴν ψυχήν μου· ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ δυνήσομαι διασωθῆναι εἰς τὸ ὄρος, μὴ καταλάβῃ με τὰ κακὰ καὶ ἀποθάνω·
LXX
behold now, thy servant hath found favor in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy lovingkindness, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die:
ASV
הִנֵּה נָ֠א מָצָ֨א עַבְדְּ/ךָ֣ חֵן֮ בְּ/עֵינֶי/ךָ֒ וַ/תַּגְדֵּ֣ל חַסְדְּ/ךָ֗ אֲשֶׁ֤ר עָשִׂ֨יתָ֙ עִמָּדִ֔/י לְ/הַחֲי֖וֹת אֶת נַפְשִׁ֑/י וְ/אָנֹכִ֗י לֹ֤א אוּכַל֙ לְ/הִמָּלֵ֣ט הָ/הָ֔רָ/ה פֶּן תִּדְבָּקַ֥/נִי הָ/רָעָ֖ה וָ/מַֽתִּי
