And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.

It shall not be quenched night or day; its smoke shall ascend forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; no one shall pass through it forever and forever.

The kings of the earth who prostituted themselves and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

And again they said, Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!

But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and their place of escape shall perish; and their hope, as the expiring of the soul!

They saw it, so they marveled; they were troubled, and hurried away.

Fear took hold of them there, and writhing, like a woman giving birth.

The stouthearted were plundered; they have become drowsy and fallen asleep; and none of the mighty men have found their hands.

Therefore flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his power, nor shall the mighty deliver his life,

And the strong of heart among the mighty shall flee naked in that day, declares Jehovah.

And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains,

For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?
