「耶路撒冷啊，耶路撒冷！這城殺害先知們，又用石頭砸死被差到她這裡的人！我多次想聚集你的兒女，像母雞把自己的小雞聚集在翅膀下，可是你們不願意！

於是所多瑪王、格摩拉王、押瑪王、洗扁王和比拉王，就是瑣珥王都出來，在西訂谷擺陣與他們作戰，

既然神又定了所多瑪和格摩拉的罪，把這二城傾覆，燒成灰燼，做為以後不敬神之人的鑒戒；

同樣，所多瑪、格摩拉及其周圍的城市，照著他們的樣子放縱行淫，隨從變態的肉慾，就遭受永火的刑罰，成為我們的鑒戒。

那時，耶和華就使硫磺與火從天而降，從耶和華那裡降在所多瑪和格摩拉，使那些城和整個平原，連同各城所有的居民和地上生長的都遭覆滅。

耶穌快到耶路撒冷的時候，看見那城，就為她哭泣，說：「巴不得你在這日子裡明白關乎你和平的事，但如今這事在你眼前被隱藏了。

為他們的緣故，記念自己的約，照著他豐盛的慈愛回心轉意；

他們的屍體會被拋在大城的街道上。這大城按屬靈的意思叫做所多瑪，又叫做埃及，也就是他們的主被釘十字架的地方。

求你從天上垂看，從你聖潔、榮耀的崇高居所觀看！你的熱心和你的大能在哪裡呢？你內心的激情和你的憐憫向我們止住了。

要不是萬軍之耶和華給我們留下了一些幸存者，我們早就變得像所多瑪、格摩拉那樣了！所多瑪的統領們哪，要聽耶和華的話語！格摩拉的百姓啊，要傾聽我們神的訓誨！

他們看著焚燒她時的煙，呼喊說：「哪一個城能與這大城相比呢？」

天使向耶路撒冷伸手，要毀滅耶路撒冷時，耶和華後悔降這災禍，就對那毀滅百姓的天使說：「夠了，住手吧！」那時耶和華的使者在耶布斯人亞勞拿的打穀場那裡。
