Genesis 19:25

Judgment

23 And by the time the sun had risen over the land, Lot had reached Zoar.

24 Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens.

Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.

26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 Early the next morning, Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
