Datapuwa't bago nagsihiga, ang bahay ay kinulong ng mga tao sa bayan sa makatuwid baga'y ng mga tao sa Sodoma, na mga binata at gayon din ng mga matanda ng buong bayan sa buong palibot;
Genesis 19:4
Arcana Coelestia＃2403
2403. 'But he was in the eyes of his sons-in-law like one who was jesting' means cause for laughter. This is clear from the meaning of 'jesting' as the thing being so to speak a joke, just a story, or utter nonsense, and so something that they would laugh at. 'In their eyes' means to their rational, as is clear from the meaning of 'eyes' in 212. This shows the character of people with whom the truth of faith exists but not at the same time the good of life.
