²⁵ So He ^[a]overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and ^(A)what grew on the ground.

^12 [a]But I say to you that ^(A)it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.

⁴⁷ And ^(A)that servant who ^(B)knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

²¹ For ^(A)then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.

²³ And you, Capernaum, ^(A)who^[a] are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. ²⁴ But I say to you ^(B)that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.”

¹² And He has ^(A)confirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; ^(B)for under the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ “As I live,” says the Lord God, “neither ^(A)your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done. ⁴⁹ Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, ^(B)fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. ⁵⁰ And they were haughty and ^(C)committed abomination before Me; therefore ^(D)I took them away as ^[a]I saw fit.
