The Sodomites Struck with Blindness

Scripture Reference:

Genesis 19 (further images / scripture text)

2 Peter 2 (further images / scripture text)

Description: The inhabitants of Sodom (The Sodomites) are struck with blindness. The Dutch artist and poet Johannes Luiken (1649–1712) drew and etched this emblem and wrote the accompanying poem.

This story ends with fire and brimstone coming down from the heavens and consuming Sodom and Gomorrah, incinerating the sodomites with destructive power rivaling that of an atomic bomb in the process.
