²⁴ Then the Lord rained ^(A)brimstone and ^(B)fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. ²⁵ So He ^[a]overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and ^(C)what grew on the ground.

²⁶ But his wife looked back behind him, and she became ^(D)a pillar of salt.

²⁷ And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where ^(E)he had stood before the Lord. ²⁸ Then he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, ^(F)the smoke of the land which went up like the smoke of a furnace.

¹⁵ Assuredly, I say to you, ^(A)it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

²⁴ But I say to you ^(A)that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.”

^11 (A)And ^[a]whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, ^(B)shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. ^[b]Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”
