²⁴ Jehovah giveth the rain of thy land -- dust and ashes; from the heavens it cometh down on thee till thou art destroyed.

¹² `Jehovah doth open to thee his good treasure -- the heavens -- to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand, and thou hast lent to many nations, and thou -- thou dost not borrow.

²⁴ and Jehovah hath rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah, from the heavens;

¹⁵ It dwelleth in his tent -- out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur.

¹⁶ From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop.

¹⁷ His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street.

¹⁸ They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out.

¹⁹ He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings.

²⁰ At this day westerns have been astonished And easterns have taken fright.

²¹ Only these `are' tabernacles of the perverse, And this the place God hath not known.

²⁴ Therefore, as a tongue of fire devoureth stubble, And flaming hay falleth, Their root is as muck, And their flower as dust goeth up. Because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel despised.

¹¹ I have overturned among you, Like the overturn by God of Sodom and Gomorrah, And ye are as a brand delivered from a burning, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
