²⁵ Thus he overthrew those cities^(A) and the entire plain,^(B) destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land.^(C)

²⁹ So when God destroyed the cities of the plain,^(A) he remembered^(B) Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe^(C) that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.^(D)

¹² They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot^(A) and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom.
