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 in the process.

The sodomites are blinded by angels and later incinerated by the equivalent of a nuclear bomb, which fell upon them from the heavens.
