When they ask you where they should go, tell them that I have said: Some are doomed to die by disease--- that's where they will go! Others are doomed to die in war--- that's where they will go! Some are doomed to die of starvation--- that's where they will go! Others are doomed to be taken away as prisoners--- that's where they will go!

"Mortal man," he said, "how does a vine compare with a tree? What good is a branch of a grapevine compared with the trees of the forest?

It is only good for building a fire. And when the ends are burned up and the middle is charred, can you make anything out of it?

"Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again.

It is no good for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown away. Listen, then, if you have ears!"

Those who do not remain in me are thrown out like a branch and dry up; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, where they are burned.

Our people must learn to spend their time doing good, in order to provide for real needs; they should not live useless lives.

God blesses the soil which drinks in the rain that often falls on it and which grows plants that are useful to those for whom it is cultivated.

But those who should be in the Kingdom will be thrown out into the darkness, where they will cry and gnash their teeth."

and they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where they will cry and gnash their teeth.

and will throw them into the fiery furnace, where they will cry and gnash their teeth.

Then the king told the servants, 'Tie him up hand and foot, and throw him outside in the dark. There he will cry and gnash his teeth.' "

The master will cut him in pieces and make him share the fate of the hypocrites. There he will cry and gnash his teeth.

How you will cry and gnash your teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, while you are thrown out!

These people are like dried-up springs, like clouds blown along by a storm; God has reserved a place for them in the deepest darkness.

They are like wild waves of the sea, with their shameful deeds showing up like foam. They are like wandering stars, for whom God has reserved a place forever in the deepest darkness.

But cowards, traitors, perverts, murderers, the immoral, those who practice magic, those who worship idols, and all liars---the place for them is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
