Let him not trust that he shall return from darkness, for he has been already made over to the power of the sword.

before I go to where I shall not return, to a land of darkness and gloominess;

to a land of perpetual darkness, where there is no light, neither [can anyone] see the life of mortals.

But the light of the ungodly shall be quenched, and their flame shall not go up.

His light [shall be] darkness in [his] habitation, and his lamp shall be put out with him.

Let [one] drive him from light into darkness.

but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Then the king said to the servants, 'Tie him up hands and feet, take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

These are waterless wells, clouds being driven by a storm, for whom the darkness of the netherworld has been reserved forever.

raging waves on the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars for whom the darkness of the netherworld has been reserved forever.

And let all darkness wait for him: an unfanned fire shall consume him, and let a stranger plague his house.

For you shall be required before [your] time; has it been prepared for you also to reign? No, God has [prepared for you] a deep trench, wood piled, fire and much wood; the wrath of the Lord [shall be] as a trench kindled with sulphur.

It is only given to the fire to be consumed; the fire consumes that which is yearly ruined of it, and it is utterly gone. Will it be useful for [any] work?

Therefore say, Thus says the Lord: As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given up to the fire to be consumed, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

and you shall say to the forest of Negev, Hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord, [even] the Lord: Behold, I [will] kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour in you every green tree, and every dry tree. The flame that is kindled shall not be quenched, and every face shall be scorched with it from the south to the north.

And all flesh shall know that I the Lord have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.

"Then He will also say to those on the left, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It would be better for you to enter into life maimed, than to enter having two hands, to go into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--

"And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It would be better for you to enter into life lame, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--

"And if your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It would be better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the fiery hell,

"For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.

in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

These shall pay a penalty--eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might,

They shall perish by the command of the Lord, and shall be utterly consumed by the breath of His wrath.

but He shall judge the cause of the lowly, and shall reprove the lowly of the earth; and He shall smite the earth with the word of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He destroy the ungodly one.

And out of His mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, so that with it He might strike the nations. And He will shepherd them with an iron rod. And He treads the winepress of the wine of the wrath of Almighty God.
