Wisdom 10:6-8

Good News Translation

Wisdom Rescued Lot

^6 (A)Wisdom rescued a righteous man while ungodly people were dying. He escaped the flames that destroyed the Five Cities. ⁷ You can still see the evidence of their wickedness. The land there is barren and smoking. The plants bear fruit that never ripens, and a pillar of salt stands as a monument to one who did not believe. ⁸ The people of those cities ignored Wisdom and could not tell right from wrong. Not only that, but the remains of their cities still remind us of the foolish way they lived, so that their failure can never be forgotten.
