Genesis 19:24-29

New International Version

²⁴Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur^(A) on Sodom and Gomorrah^(B)—from the Lord out of the heavens.^(C) ²⁵Thus he overthrew those cities^(D) and the entire plain,^(E) destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land.^(F) ²⁶But Lot’s wife looked back,^(G) and she became a pillar of salt.^(H)

²⁷Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord.^(I) ²⁸He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.^(J)

²⁹So when God destroyed the cities of the plain,^(K) he remembered^(L) Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe^(M) that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.^(N)

Genesis 19:24-29

New King James Version

²⁴Then the Lord rained ^(A)brimstone and ^(B)fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. ²⁵So He ^[a]overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and ^(C)what grew on the ground.

²⁶But his wife looked back behind him, and she became ^(D)a pillar of salt.

²⁷And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where ^(E)he had stood before the Lord. ²⁸Then he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, ^(F)the smoke of the land which went up like the smoke of a furnace. ²⁹And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God ^(G)remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.
