They have brought trouble on themselves.Tell those who do what is right that things will go well with them. They will enjoy the results of the good things they’ve done.But how terrible it will be for those who do what is evil! Trouble is about to fall on them. They will be paid back for the evil things they’ve done.

He also saved seven others.God judged the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. He burned them to ashes. He made them an example of what is going to happen to ungodly people.
