SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:13

Mas los hombres de Sodoma eran malos y pecadores para con el SEÑOR en gran manera.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 13:14

Verse 14. The Lord said unto Abram] It is very likely that the angel of the covenant appeared to Abram in open day, when he could take a distinct view of the length and the breadth of this good land. The revelation made chap. xv. 5, was evidently made in the night; for then he was called to number the stars, which could not be seen but in the night season: here he is called on to number the dust of the earth, ver. 16, which could not be seen but in the day-light.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-13 - Abram having offered Lot the choice, he at once accepted it. Passio and selfishness make men rude. Lot looked to the goodness of the land therefore he doubted not that in such a fruitful soil he shoul certainly thrive. But what came of it? Those who, in choosin relations, callings, dwellings, or settlements, are guided and governe by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, or the pride of life cannot expect God's presence or blessing. They are commonl disappointed even in that which they principally aim at. In all ou choices this principle should rule, That is best for us, which is bes for our souls. Lot little considered the badness of the inhabitants The men of Sodom were impudent, daring sinners. This was the iniquit of Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness, Ez 16:49. God often gives great plenty to great sinners. It has often bee the vexatious lot of good men to live among wicked neighbours; and it must be the more grievous, if, as Lot here, they have brought it upo themselves by a wrong choice.
