A Land of Fruit, into a waste of salt, For the wickedness of them who dwell therein.

So Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the circuit of the Jordan, that the whole of it, was well-watered, - before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the Garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou enterest into Zoar.

All these, joined together in the valley of the open fields, the same, is the Salt Sea.

Now, the men of Sodom were base and sinful, - against Yahweh, exceedingly.

And, Yahweh, rained, upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah, brimstone and fire, - from Yahweh, out of the heavens:

brimstone and salt burning up all the land thereof, it shall not be sown neither shall it shoot forth neither shall there come up thereon any herbage, - like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Yahweh overthrow in his anger and in his wrath:

Over the soil of my people, thorns and briars shall grow, - Yea over all houses of joy, thou city exultant!

the swamps thereof and the pools thereof, shall not be healed to salt, have they been given up.
