21 “Very well,” he replied, “I will grant this request too and will not overthrow the town you mentioned.
22 Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” (This incident explains why the town was called Zoar.)
23 The sun had just risen over the land as Lot reached Zoar.
24 Then the Lord rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah. It was sent down from the sky by the Lord.
25 So he overthrew those cities and all that region, including all the inhabitants of the cities and the vegetation that grew from the ground.
26 But Lot’s wife looked back longingly and was turned into a pillar of salt.
27 Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before the Lord.
