" Flee, save your lives! And be like the juniper in the wilderness.

" Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the reeds flourish without water?

So [are] the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the hypocrite shall perish,

He will not depart from darkness; The flame will dry out his branches, And by the breath of His mouth he will go away.

It will be accomplished before his time, And his branch will not be green.

For the company of hypocrites [will be] barren, And fire will consume the tents of bribery.

The ungodly [are] not so, But [are] like the chaff which the wind drives away.

When the wicked spring up like grass, And when all the workers of iniquity flourish, [It is] that they may be destroyed forever.

Let them be as the grass [on] the housetops, Which withers before it grows up,

Neither let those who pass by them say, "The blessing of the LORD [be] upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD!"

For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades, And as a garden that has no water.

So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, "Look, [if] the LORD would make windows in heaven, could this thing be?" And he said, "In fact, you shall see [it] with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it."

Then that officer had answered the man of God, and said, "Now look, [if] the LORD would make windows in heaven, could such a thing be?" And he had said, "In fact, you shall see [it] with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it."

And so it happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gate, and he died.

He will not see the streams, The rivers flowing with honey and cream.

'The whole land [is] brimstone, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in His anger and His wrath.'

So Abimelech fought against the city all that day; he took the city and killed the people who [were] in it; and he demolished the city and sowed it with salt.

"But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given over to salt.

Therefore, as I live," Says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Surely Moab shall be like Sodom, And the people of Ammon like Gomorrah -- Overrun with weeds and saltpits, And a perpetual desolation. The residue of My people shall plunder them, And the remnant of My people shall possess them."
