17 És lõn mikor kivivék õket, monda az [egyik:] Mentsd meg a te életedet, hátra ne tekints, és meg ne állj a környéken; a hegyre menekülj, hogy el ne veszsz.

Arcana Coelestia #2462

2462. 'For he was afraid to dwell in Zoar' means because he was unable any more to look to good from the affection for truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'Zoar' as the affection for truth, 2439. When this has been vastated a person is no longer able to look to good from that affection. At such times also the fear of all truth is present, for truth runs counter to the good of an impure love.

14 Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, "Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
