Genesis 13:13
13Now the men of Sodom awere wicked, great sinners against the Lord.Genesis 19:13-25
13For we are about to destroy this place, bbecause the outcry against its people has become great before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.” 14So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, c“Up! Get out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting.15As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.” 16But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, dthe Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city. 17And as they brought them out, one said, “Escape for your life. eDo not look back or stop anywhere in the fvalley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away.” 18And Lot said to them, “Oh, no, my lords. 19Behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die. 20Behold, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there—is it not a little one?—and my life will be saved!” 21He said to him, “Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. 22Escape there quickly, for I can do nothing till you arrive there.” Therefore the name of the city was called gZoar. ▼

God Destroys Sodom
23The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. 24Then ithe Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven. 25And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.Job 1:5
5And when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send and jconsecrate them, and he would rise early in the morning and koffer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my children have sinned, and lcursed ▼▼The Hebrew word bless is used euphemistically for curse in 1:5, 11; 2:5, 9
God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually. Job 1:18-19
18While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, n“Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, 19and behold, a great wind came across othe wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people, and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”Job 5:4
4His children are pfar from safety;they are crushed in qthe gate,
and there is no one to deliver them.
Job 18:16-19
16His rroots dry up beneath,and his branches swither above.
17His tmemory perishes from the earth,
and he has no name in the street.
18 uHe is thrust from light into darkness,
and driven out of the world.
19He has no vposterity or progeny among his people,
and no survivor where he used to live.
