  They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold,
  they planted, they built 29 but on the day that
  Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and
  brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30
  Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man
  is revealed. 31 In that day, he who is on the
  housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him
  not come down to take them away. And likewise the
  one who is in the field, let him not turn back.
