Religion
Genesis 19:22: I cannot do anything till thou be come thither
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Kept off by Lot the fiery rain
On Sodom cannot yet descend,
The presence of one righteous man
Doth God's impending plagues suspend:
But woe to that devoted race,
Whom their despised protectors leave!
The wrath shall all on them take place,
The yawning gulf its prey receive.
