Genesis 19:17-29
17And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when they had broughtH3318 them forthH3318 abroadH2351, that he saidH559, EscapeH4422 for thy lifeH5315; lookH5027 notH408 behindH310 thee, neitherH408 stayH5975 thou in allH3605 the PlainH3603; escapeH4422 to the mountainH2022, lestH6435 thou be consumed.
18And LotH3876 saidH559 unto them, OhH4994, notH408 soH408, my lordH136:
19beholdH2009 nowH4994, thy servantH5650 hath foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, and thou hast magnifiedH1431 thy mercy, whichH834 thou hast shewed unto meH4994 in saving my lifeH5315; and I cannotH3808 escapeH4422 to the mountainH2022, lestH6435 evilH7451 overtakeH4672 meH4994, and I dieH4191:
20beholdH2009 nowH4994, this cityH5892 is nearH7138 to fleeH5127 unto, and it is a littleH4705 one: OhH4994, letH4994 meH4994 escapeH4422 thither, (is it notH3808 a littleH4705 one?) and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421.
21And he saidH559 unto him, SeeH2009, I have accepted thee concerning this thingH1697 also, that I will notH1115 overthrowH2015 the cityH5892 of whichH834 thou hast spokenH1696.
22HasteH4116 thee, escapeH4422 thither; for I cannotH3808 doH6213 anyH3588 thingH1697 tillH5704 thou be comeH935 thither. Therefore the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 was calledH7121 ZoarH6820.
23The sunH8121 was risenH3318 uponH5921 the earthH776 when LotH3876 cameH935 unto ZoarH6820.
24Then the LORDH3068 rainedH4305 uponH5921 SodomH5467 and uponH5921 GomorrahH6017 brimstoneH1614 and fireH784 from the LORDH3068 outH4480 of heavenH8064;
25and he overthrewH2015 thoseH3605 citiesH5892, and allH3605 the PlainH3603, and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the citiesH5892, and that which grewH6780 uponH3427 the groundH127.
26But his wifeH802 lookedH5027 backH310 from behindH310 him, and sheH310 becameH1961 a pillarH5333 of saltH4417.
27And AbrahamH85 gat upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 to the placeH4725 whereH834 he had stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068:
28and he lookedH7200 towardH5921 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and towardH5921 allH3605 the landH776 of the PlainH3603, and beheld, and, loH2009, the smokeH7008 of the landH776 wentH5927 upH5927 as the smokeH7008 of a furnaceH3536.
29And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when GodH430 destroyedH7843 the citiesH5892 of the PlainH3603, that GodH430 rememberedH2142 AbrahamH85, and sentH7971 LotH3876 outH7971 of the midstH8432 of the overthrowH2015, when he overthrewH2015 the citiesH5892 in the whichH834 LotH3876 dweltH3427.
