Sodom » Destroyed on account of the wickedness of the people
Before the men of the city shall lie down, the men of Sodom surrounded the house about, from youth, even to old age, all the people from the end. And they will call to Lot, and will say to him, Where the men which came to thee this night? bring them out to us and we shall know them. And Lot went forth to them to the entrance, and shut the door after him, And he will say, Now my brothers, ye shall not be evil. Behold now, to me two daughters who have not known man'; now I will bring them forth to you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only to these men ye shall not do any thing; for, for this they came in the shadow of my city. And they will say, Stand off. And they will say, This same came to sojourn, and shall he judge judgment: now will we do evil to thee above them: and they will press upon the man, upon Lot greatly, and they will come near to break the door. And the men will stretch out the hand, and will bring in Lot to them to the house, and they shut the door. And the men which were at the door of the house, they struck with blindness, from small to great: and they will be wearied to find the door. And the men will say to Lot, Who to thee here yet? son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and all which are to thee in the city, bring forth out of this place. For we destroy this place, for their cry was great at the face of Jehovah; and Jehovah will send us to destroy it. And Lot will go out, and will speak to his sons-in-law, having taken his daughters, and he will say, Rise ye up, go forth out of this place; for Jehovah destroys the city: and he will be as laughing in the eyes of his sons-in-law. And when the dawn arose, the messengers will hasten upon Lot, saying, Rise up, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, being found, lest thou shalt be destroyed in the iniquity of the city. And he shall linger, and the men will hold fast upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; in Jehovah's having compassion upon him; and they shall bring him forth, and lead him without the city. And it shall be when having brought them forth without, he will say, Escape for thy life; thou shalt not look behind thee, and thou shalt not stay in all the circuit: escape to the mountain, lest thou shalt be destoyed. And Lot will say to them, Nay, now, Lord! Behold now, thy servant found grace in thine eyes, and thou wilt magnify thy kindness, what thou didst by me to make my soul live: and I shall not be able to escape to the mountain so evil over-taking me, and I die. Behold now, this city drawing nigh to flee there, and it is small: now I shall be saved there, is it not small? and my soul shall live. And he will say to him, Behold, I lifted up thy face also for thy word, not to overthrow this city for which thou spakest Hasten, to escape there, for I shall not be able to do the word till thy coming there: for this the name of the city was called Zoar. The sun came forth upon the earth, and Lot came to Zoar. And Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah, sulphur and fire from Jehovah out of the heavens. And he will overturn these cities, and all the circuit, and all inhabiting the cities, and the sprouting of the earth. And his wife will look hack from behind him, and will become a pillar of salt And Abraham will rise early in the morning to the place in which he stood there by the face of Jehovah. And he will look out upon the face of Sodom and Gomorrah and upon all the face of the earth of the circuit, and he will see, and behold the smoke of the earth ascended as the smoke of a furnace. And it shall be in God's destroying the cities of the circuit, and God will remember Abraham, and he will send forth Lot out of the midst of the overthrow in overthrowing the cities in which Lot dwelt in them.

And they will be proud, and they will do abomination before me: and I shall take them away according to what I saw. And Shomeron sinned not according to half thy sins: and thou wilt multiply thine abominations above them, and thou wilt justify thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou didst. And thou also bear thy shame, who didst judge for thy sisters in thy sins which thou didst make abominable above them: they shall be justified more than thou: and also thou, be thou ashamed and bear thy shame in thy justifying thy sisters. And I turned back their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Shomeron and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captivities in their midst: So that thou shalt bear thy shame, and thou wert made ashamed of all which thou didst in thy comforting them. And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall turn back to their beginning, and Shomeron and her daughters shall turn back to their beginning, and thou and thy daughters shall turn back to your beginning. And thy sister Sodom was not for a hearing in thy mouth in the day of thy pride.

For I know him, for that he will command his sons and his house after him; and they watched the way of Jehovah to do justice and judgment, for Jehovah to bring upon Abraham what he spake to him.

And the men will turn back from thence, and will go forth to Sodom: and Abraham stood yet before the face of Jehovah. And Abraham will draw near, and will say, Wilt thou also destroy the just with the wicked Perhaps there is fifty just in the midst of the city: wilt thou also destroy and not forgive the place for the sake of the fifty just which are within it? Far be it with respect to thee doing as this word to kill the just with the wicked; and for the just to be as the wicked, far be it with respect to thee: shall not the judge of all the earth do judgment? And Jehovah will say, If I shall find in Sodom fifty just, in the midst of the city, I forgive all the place for their sakes. And Abraham will answer and say, Behold now, I have undertaken to speak to my Lord, and I dust and ashes. If the fifty just shall lack five: wilt thou destroy for sake of five all the city? And he will say, I will not destroy, if I shall find there forty and five. And he added yet to speak to him, and he will say, If forty shall be found there? And he will say, I will not do for sake of forty. And he will say, Now will it not kindle to the Lord, and I will speak: If thirty shall be found there? And he will say, I will not do, if I shall find thirty there. And he will say, Behold now, I have begun to speak to the Lord If twenty shall be found there? And he will say, I will not destroy for sake of twenty. And he will say, Now will it not be angry to the Lord, and I will speak only this once: If ten shall be found there? And he will say, I will not destroy for sake of ten. And Jehovah went forth after that he finished to speak to Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.
