Now the people of Sodom were wicked, sinning greatly against Yahweh.
In context
11So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. Thus the two men parted from each other. 12Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom. 13Now the people of Sodom were wicked, sinning greatly against Yahweh. 14After Lot had parted from him, Yahweh said to Abram, “Lift up your eyes and look, from where you are, to the north, the south, the east, and the west. 15All the land you see, I will give to you and your offspring forever.
