23 The sun was rising upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. 24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of the heavens; 25 and he overthrew those cities and all that plain, with all the inhabitants of those cities, and the fruit of the ground. 26 Then the wife of Lot looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham rose up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD. 28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of that plain and beheld that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 And it came to pass as God destroyed the cities of the plain that God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the destruction when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
