Job 1:5
And when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send and consecrate them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said,“ It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually.

While he was yet speaking, there came another and said,“ Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,and behold, a great wind came across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people, and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

Job 18:16-19
His roots dry up beneath, and his branches wither above.His memory perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the street.He is thrust from light into darkness, and driven out of the world.He has no posterity or progeny among his people, and no survivor where he used to live.

Genesis 19:13-25
For we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters,“ Up! Get out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting.As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying,“ Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.”But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.And as they brought them out, one said,“ Escape for your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away.”And Lot said to them,“ Oh, no, my lords.Behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die.Behold, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there— is it not a little one?— and my life will be saved!”He said to him,“ Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.Escape there quickly, for I can do nothing till you arrive there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven.And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.
