21. The angel said to Lot, “Very well, I will allow you to do this also. I will not destroy that town.
22. But run there fast. I cannot destroy Sodom until you are safely in that town.” (That town is named Zoar, because it is little.)
23. The sun had already come up when Lot entered Zoar.
24. The Lord sent a rain of burning sulfur down from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah.
25. So the Lord destroyed those cities. He also destroyed the whole Jordan Valley, everyone living in the cities and even all the plants.
