22 Hurry, escape there! I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” That is why the town is called Zoar.
23 The sun had risen over the earth when Lot arrived in Zoar,
24 and the Lord rained down sulfur upon Sodom and Gomorrah, fire from the Lord out of heaven.
25 He overthrew those cities and the whole Plain, together with the inhabitants of the cities and the produce of the soil.
26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she was turned into a pillar of salt.
27 The next morning Abraham hurried to the place where he had stood before the Lord.
28 As he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and the whole region of the Plain, he saw smoke over the land rising like the smoke from a kiln.
