Genesis 19:15-17
New King James Version
15 When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, (A)“Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city.” 16 And while he lingered, the men (B)took hold of his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the (C)Lord being merciful to him, (D)and they brought him out and set him outside the city. 17 So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that [a]he said, (E)“Escape for your life! (F)Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape (G)to the mountains, lest you be [b]destroyed.”

22 Hurry, escape there. For (A)I cannot do anything until you arrive there.”
Therefore (B)the name of the city was called [a]Zoar.
23 The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered Zoar. 24 Then the Lord rained (C)brimstone and (D)fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 So He [b]overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and (E)what grew on the ground.
26 But his wife looked back behind him, and she became (F)a pillar of salt.
