Please separate from me; if you choose the left, then I will go to the right; or if you choose the right, then I will go to the left.” 10 Lot raised his eyes and saw all the [a]vicinity of the (B)Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere—this was before the Lord (C)destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah—like (D)the garden of the Lord, (E)like the land of Egypt [b]going toward (F)Zoar.

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
