For if God spared not the angels having sinned, but delivered up, hurled into Tartarus, to cords of darkness, having been kept for judgment; And spared not the old world, but Noah the eighth, a herald of justice, he watched, having brought an inundation upon the world of the irreligious; And the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha having reduced to ashes, condemned with a catastrophe, a pattern set to them about to act irreligiously; And just Lot, being harassed by the licentiousness of the lawless for the turning back, he delivered: (For the just one in seeing and hearing, dwelling among them, from day to day tried the just soul with lawless works;) The Lord knows to deliver the religious out of temptation, and to keep the unjust restrained for the day of judgment; And chiefly them going after the flesh in eager desire of defilement, and despising dominion.

Promising them liberty, they being servants of corruption: for by whom any is conquered, by him has he been made to serve.

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.
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 the iniquity of the daughter of my people will be great above the sin of Sodom being overthrown as in a moment, and no hands waited for her.
