And there was a conspiracy in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord removed from before the children of Israel.

And he removed the sodomites from out of the land, and abolished all the practices which his fathers had kept up.

And they called out Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that came to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may be with them.

There shall not be a harlot of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be a fornicator of the sons of Israel; there shall not be an idolatress of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be an initiated person of the sons of Israel.

And they [were] comforting their heart, when behold, the men of the city, sons of transgressors, surrounded the house, knocking at the door. And they spoke to the old man, the owner of the house, saying, Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may know him.

For this reason God gave them up to passions of dishonor; for even their females exchanged the natural use for that which is contrary to nature,

as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to fornication and having gone after other flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
