Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom— both young and old— surrounded the house.

But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house.

But before they retired for the night, all the men of Sodom, young and old, came from all over the city and surrounded the house.

Before they went to bed, the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, the whole population, surrounded the house.

Before they lay down, the men of the city— the men of Sodom— surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter;

Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house.

But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the people from every quarter;

Before they went to bed, the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, the whole population, surrounded the house.

But before they lay down, the men of the city,[ even] the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

Before they could lie down to sleep, all the men– both young and old, from every part of the city of Sodom– surrounded the house.

But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.

The people of Sodom were evil. They were sinning greatly against the Lord.

“ Do not follow the crowd when they do what is wrong. When you are a witness in court, do not turn what is right into what is wrong. Do not go along with the crowd.

Sinners can’t rest until they do what is evil. They can’t sleep until they make someone sin.

The Lord also said,“ The cries against Sodom and Gomorrah are very great. Their sin is so bad

They are very good at doing what is evil. Rulers require gifts. Judges accept money from people who want special favors. Those who are powerful always get what they want. All of them make evil plans together.

“ They run quickly to commit murder.

In the desert the whole community told Moses and Aaron they weren’t happy with them.

The prophets prophesy lies. The priests rule by their own authority. And my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?”

He also hates hearts that make evil plans and feet that are quick to do evil.

But the chief priests and the elders talked the crowd into asking for Barabbas and having Jesus put to death.“ Which of the two do you want me to set free?” asked the governor.“ Barabbas,” they answered.“ Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered,“ Crucify him!”“ Why? What wrong has he done?” asked Pilate. But they shouted even louder,“ Crucify him!”Pilate saw that he wasn’t getting anywhere. Instead, the crowd was starting to get angry. So he took water and washed his hands in front of them.“ I am not guilty of this man’s death,” he said.“ You are accountable for that!”All the people answered,“ Put the blame for his death on us and our children!”

The Lord says,“ Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem. Look around. Think about what you see. Search through the market. See if you can find one honest person who tries to be truthful. If you can, I will forgive this city.They make their promises in my name. They say,‘ You can be sure that the Lord is alive.’ But their promises can’t be trusted.”Lord, don’t your eyes look for truth? You struck down your people. But they didn’t feel any pain. You crushed them. But they refused to be corrected. They made their faces harder than stone. They refused to turn away from their sins.I thought,“ The people of Jerusalem are foolish. They don’t know how the Lord wants them to live. They don’t know what their God requires of them.So I will go to the leaders. I’ll speak to them. They should know how the Lord wants them to live. They must know what their God requires of them.” But all of them had broken off the yoke the Lord had put on them. They had torn off the ropes he had tied them up with.So a lion from the forest will attack them. A wolf from the desert will destroy them. A leopard will hide and wait near their towns. It will tear to pieces anyone who dares to go out. Again and again they have refused to obey the Lord. They have turned away from him many times.
