Look! Adonai rains on Sodom and Gomorrah fire and brimstone, from Adonai out of heaven. He has overthrown those cities, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Look! The man Abraham gets himself up early in the morning, and stands afar off on the hill where he spoke face to face with Elohim. It is the place where Lot looked out and saw a land that was well watered everywhere, like the very garden of God. Now Abrham looks out, and his gaze is toward all that same land of the plain, and, see! The smoke of the country goes up as the smoke of a furnace. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever as a memorial before Adonai, and their worm does not die, and their fire is not quenched.
But Elohim remembers Abraham, as he remembered Noach, and he sends Lot out of the midst of the overthrow of those cities in which he dwelt.
Praise be to Adonai, the possessor of heaven and earth. Praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise Adonai.
