Bible in Basic English
"But Lot's wife, looking back, became a pillar of salt."
— Genesis 19:26, Bible in Basic English
The sun was up when Lot came to Zoar.
Then the Lord sent fire and flaming smoke raining down from heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah.
And he sent destruction on those towns, with all the lowland and all the people of those towns and every green thing in the land.
But Lot's wife, looking back, became a pillar of salt.
And Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had been talking with the Lord:
And looking in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the lowland, he saw the smoke of the land going up like the smoke of an oven.
So it came about that when God sent destruction on the towns of the lowland, he kept his word to Abraham, and sent Lot safely away when he put an end to the towns where he was living.
