4 Before they could lie down, the men of the city, the men of Sodʹom, surrounded the house,+ from boy to old man, all the people in one mob.*+

6 and by reducing the cities Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah to ashes he condemned them,+ setting a pattern for ungodly persons* of things to come;+

7 So too Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah and the cities about them,+ after they in the same manner as the foregoing ones had committed fornication excessively and gone out after flesh for unnatural use,+ are placed before [us] as a [warning] example+ by undergoing the judicial punishment of everlasting fire.+
