28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They
ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they
planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot
went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone
from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even
so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is
revealed. 31 In that day, he who is on the

turn back. 32 Remember Lot's wife.
