For if God spared not the angels when they sinned, but casting them bound in chains of darkness into hell, delivered them to be kept fast until the judgment; and spared not the old world, but guarded safely Noah the eighth person, the preacher of righteousness, when he brought a deluge on the world of the ungodly: and reducing the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, condemned them to final destruction, making them an example for all who in future should live ungodly; but righteous Lot, afflicted grievously with the infamously impure conduct of those lawless men, he plucked out: for by seeing and hearing, that righteous man whilst sojourning among them, suffered torment day by day in his righteous soul from their lawless doings; the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, but to reserve the wicked unto the day of judgment to be punished: especially such as walk after the flesh in the eager pursuit of defilement, and despise government.

About ten o'clock the Richard, gorged with slaughter, wallowed heavily, gave a long roll, and blasted by tornadoes of sulphur, slowly sunk, like Gomorrah, out of sight. The loss of life in the two ships was about equal; one-half of the total number of those engaged being either killed or wounded. In view of this battle one may ask What separates the enlightened man from the savage?
You might perhaps manage with the boots, and the coat, and the High-German though you're rather out of practice but you'd never get on with the women. The Countess is always poking about to see that all's going on rightly in the cattle-sheds and pig-sties, in short it's, it's as bad as Sodom and Gomorrah." "Bless me!" cried Mrs. Nüssler, "I remember now.
Without the fascination for dancing, which is germinated and cultivated in the private parlors among the nice, respectable, refined people, many of the largest towns and cities of Sodom and Gomorrah would soon be depopulated. We next come to enquire who it is that attends dancing parties, balls, hops, etc., and when they usually break up.
And I pray God, into whose hands I commend my spirit, that the great number of sodomites in and about this City and suburbs, may not bring down the same judgement from Heaven as fell on Sodom and Gomorrah. William Casey. In 1719 he led an expedition to the north coast of Spain and seized Vigo and the neighbouring towns and harbours. The Life of JOHN DYKES, a Thief and Highwayman
I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith the Lord. 12. Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel; and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. 13.
