Let me escape there—is it not a little one?—and my life will be saved!” 21 He said to him, “Very well, I grant you this favor too and will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.(A) 22 Hurry, escape there, for I can do nothing until you arrive there.” Therefore the city was called Zoar.[a] 23 The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
24 Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven,(B) 25 and he overthrew those cities and all the plain and all the inhabitants of the cities and what grew on the ground.(C) 26 But Lot’s wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.(D)
