20. Do you see that little town? It is near enough. Let me go over there — you can see it is just a small place — and I will be safe.”
21. He answered, “All right, I agree. I won't destroy that town.
22. Hurry! Run! I can't do anything until you get there.”Because Lot called it small, the town was named Zoar.
23. The sun was rising when Lot reached Zoar.
24. Suddenly the Lord rained burning sulphur on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
25. and destroyed them and the whole valley, along with all the people there and everything that grew on the land.
26. But Lot's wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt.
27. Early the next morning Abraham hurried to the place where he had stood in the presence of the Lord.
28. He looked down at Sodom and Gomorrah and the whole valley and saw smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a huge furnace.
