UGenesise 19,12-29
Lawo madoda athi kuLoti: “Usenobani lapha? Umkhwenyana wakho, amadodana akho, amadodakazi akho nabo bonke onabo edolobheni, basuse kule ndawo. Ngoba sesizobhidliza le ndawo: isimemezelo esaphakanyiswa ngokumelene nabo phambi kweNkosi sikhulu futhi uJehova usithumele ukuba sibabhubhise ”. ULoti waphuma wayokhuluma namadodana akhe, ayezoshada namadodakazi akhe, wathi, "Sukumani, phumani kule ndawo, ngoba uJehova uzowubhubhisa lo muzi!" Kepha kubonakala ezinhlotsheni zakhe ukuthi ufuna ukuntela. Lapho kuqala ukuntwela kokusa, izingelosi zanxusa uLoti, zathi, "Woza uthathe umkakho namadodakazi akho lapha futhi uphume ukuze ungakhathazwa isijeziso somuzi." ULoti wabambezela, kodwa lawo madoda ambamba ngesandla, umkakhe namadodakazi akhe omabili, ukuze amenzele umusa omkhulu weNkosi; bamkhipha bamkhiphela ngaphandle komuzi. Ngemuva kokubakhipha, omunye wabo wathi, “Baleka, usindise impilo yakho. Ungabheki emuva futhi ungami ngaphakathi esigodini: balekela ezintabeni, ukuze ungakhungatheki! ”. Kodwa uLoti wathi kuye, “Cha, Nkosi yami! Uyabona, inceku yakho ithole umusa emehlweni akho futhi usebenzise umusa omkhulu kimi futhi usindise impilo yami, kodwa ngeke ngikwazi ukubalekela entabeni, ngaphandle kwenhlekelele engifikayo bese ngifa. Bheka lo muzi: kusondele ngokwanele ukuba ngiphephele lapho futhi kuyinto encane! Ake ngibalekele lapho - akuyona into encane? - futhi ngalokho impilo yami izosindiswa ”. Uphendule wathi: “Bheka, nami ngikuthandile kulokhu, hhayi ukuthi ngichithe umuzi okhulume ngawo. Sheshisa lapho ngoba angikwazi ukwenza lutho uze ufike lapho ”. Ngalokho lowo muzi wabizwa ngokuthi iSowari. Ilanga laliphuma phezu komhlaba noLoti efikile eSowari, lapho uJehova enisa isibabule nomlilo kuvela kuJehova kuvela ezulwini phezu kweSodoma neGomora. Wabhubhisa le mizi kanye nesigodi sonke kanye nabo bonke abakhileyo emadolobheni nohlaza lomhlabathi. UmkaLoti wabheka emuva, waba yinsika kasawoti. U-Abrahama wavuka ekuseni, waya endaweni lapho wayemi khona phambi kukaJehova. Wabheka phansi eSodoma naseGomora nakuwo wonke umkhawulo wesigodi wabona ukuthi intuthu iyenyuka emhlabeni njengomusi wesithando somlilo. Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu, ngenkathi ebhubhisa amadolobhana asesigodini, uNkulunkulu wakhumbula u-Abrahama futhi wenza uLoti aphunyuke kule nhlekelele, ngenkathi ebhubhisa imizi uLoti ayehlala kuyo.
