20 There's a town near here. It's only a small place, but my family and I will be safe, if you let us go there.”
21 “All right, go there,” he answered. “I won't destroy that town.
22 Hurry! Run! I can't do anything until you are safely there.”The town was later called Zoar because Lot had said it was small.
23 The sun was coming up as Lot reached the town of Zoar,
24 and the Lord sent burning sulphur down like rain on Sodom and Gomorrah.
25 He destroyed those cities and everyone who lived in them, as well as their land and the trees and grass that grew there.
26 On the way, Lot's wife looked back and was turned into a block of salt.
