Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 13:13

13. But the men of Sodom were wicked, and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

Eminent, noted and impudent sinners. See Gen. 18, 20. Ezek. 16. 49. which is here added, as a secret reproof to Lot, who was either careless in his enquiry into the dispositions and manners of those among whom he intended to fix his abode; which for many reasons he should have searched ou[illegible: 1+ letters]: Or he was willing to expose himself to all the hazards which he might incurre by their Neighbourhood and familiarity [illegible: 1 word] the sweetness and fertility of the Soil. An errour which is frequently committed by men in the choice of their Habitations, and which oft costs them dear, as it did Lot in the following story.
