Genesis 13:10

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the ^aJordan Valley was well watered everywhere like ^bthe garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of ^cZoar. (This was before the Lord ^ddestroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

Genesis 13:13

13 Now the men of Sodom ^ewere wicked, great sinners against the Lord.

Genesis 19:25

25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.

Deuteronomy 29:23-28

23 the whole land burned out with brimstone and ^fsalt, nothing sown and nothing growing, where no plant can sprout, ^gan overthrow like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, ^hAdmah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger and wrath— 24 all the nations ⁱwill say, ^j‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land? What caused the heat of this great anger?’ 25 Then people will say, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt, 26 and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they had not known and whom he had not allotted to them. 27 Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, ^kbringing upon it all the curses written in this book, 28 and the Lord ^luprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, and ^mcast them into another land, as they are this day.’

Isaiah 32:13-15

13 ⁿfor the soil of my people
growing up in thorns and briers,
^oyes, for all the joyous houses
in the exultant city.
14 For the palace is forsaken,
the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens forever,
^pa joy of wild donkeys,
a pasture of flocks;
15 until ^qthe Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
and ^rthe wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.
