When these celebrations ended— sometimes after several days— Job would purify his children. He would get up early in the morning and offer a burnt offering for each of them. For Job said to himself,“ Perhaps my children have sinned and have cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.

While he was still speaking, another messenger arrived with this news:“ Your sons and daughters were feasting in their oldest brother’s home.Suddenly, a powerful wind swept in from the wilderness and hit the house on all sides. The house collapsed, and all your children are dead. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.”

Their roots will dry up, and their branches will wither.All memory of their existence will fade from the earth; no one will remember their names.They will be thrust from light into darkness, driven from the world.They will have neither children nor grandchildren, nor any survivor in the place where they lived.

But the people of this area were extremely wicked and constantly sinned against the Lord.

Their children are abandoned far from help; they are crushed in court with no one to defend them.

For we are about to destroy this city completely. The outcry against this place is so great it has reached the Lord, and he has sent us to destroy it.”So Lot rushed out to tell his daughters’ fiancés,“ Quick, get out of the city! The Lord is about to destroy it.” But the young men thought he was only joking.At dawn the next morning the angels became insistent.“ Hurry,” they said to Lot.“ Take your wife and your two daughters who are here. Get out right now, or you will be swept away in the destruction of the city!”When Lot still hesitated, the angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and rushed them to safety outside the city, for the Lord was merciful.When they were safely out of the city, one of the angels ordered,“ Run for your lives! And don’t look back or stop anywhere in the valley! Escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away!”“ Oh no, my lord!” Lot begged.“ You have been so gracious to me and saved my life, and you have shown such great kindness. But I cannot go to the mountains. Disaster would catch up to me there, and I would soon die.See, there is a small village nearby. Please let me go there instead; don’t you see how small it is? Then my life will be saved.”“ All right,” the angel said,“ I will grant your request. I will not destroy the little village.But hurry! Escape to it, for I can do nothing until you arrive there.”( This explains why that village was known as Zoar, which means“ little place.”)Lot reached the village just as the sun was rising over the horizon.Then the Lord rained down fire and burning sulfur from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah.He utterly destroyed them, along with the other cities and villages of the plain, wiping out all the people and every bit of vegetation.
