Now anyone may live in their tents--- after sulfur is sprinkled to disinfect them!

The rivers of Edom will turn into tar, and the soil will turn into sulfur. The whole country will burn like tar.

On the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and killed them all.

The beast was taken prisoner, together with the false prophet who had performed miracles in his presence. (It was by those miracles that he had deceived those who had the mark of the beast and those who had worshiped the image of the beast.) The beast and the false prophet were both thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.

The fighting continued all day long. Abimelech captured the city, killed its people, tore it down, and covered the ground with salt.

He made rich soil become a salty wasteland because of the wickedness of those who lived there.

He is like a bush in the desert, which grows in the dry wasteland, on salty ground where nothing else grows. Nothing good ever happens to him.

But the water in the marshes and ponds along the shore will not be made fresh. They will remain there as a source of salt.

As surely as I am the living LORD, the God of Israel, I swear that Moab and Ammon are going to be destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah. They will become a place of salt pits and everlasting ruin, overgrown with weeds. Those of my people who survive will plunder them and take their land."

"Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again.

It is no good for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown away. Listen, then, if you have ears!"

went to war against five other kings: Bera of Sodom, Birsha of Gomorrah, Shinab of Admah, Shemeber of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (or Zoar).

Suddenly the LORD rained burning sulfur on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah

and destroyed them and the whole valley, along with all the people there and everything that grew on the land.

May he be like those cities that the LORD destroyed without mercy. May he hear cries of pain in the morning and the battle alarm at noon,

"How can I give you up, Israel? How can I abandon you? Could I ever destroy you as I did Admah, or treat you as I did Zeboiim? My heart will not let me do it! My love for you is too strong.

I will not punish you in my anger; I will not destroy Israel again. For I am God and not a mere human being. I, the Holy One, am with you. I will not come to you in anger.

"I destroyed some of you as I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Those of you who survived were like a burning stick saved from a fire. Still you did not come back to me," says the LORD.
