And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing {them} rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

He that walketh with wise {men} shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. {destroyed: Heb. broken}

And they said, Stand back. And they said {again}, This one {fellow} came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, {even} Lot, and came near to break the door.

And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
