23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. 24 ^qThen the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah ^rsulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven. 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. 26 But ^sLot’s wife, behind him, ^tlooked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
