Turned into hell

The wicked, meanwhile, shall be turned into hell, even all the people that forget God. They will be punished with everlasting destruction, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. They will be cast into the lake of fire burning with brimstone, originally prepared for the devil and his angels, where they will gnaw their tongues for anguish and pain, they will curse God and look upward. There the dogs of hell, pride, malice, revenge, rage, horror, despair, continually devour them. There they have no rest, day or night, but the smoke of their torment ascends for ever and ever. For their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched.

The wicked, meantime, shall be turned into hell, even all the people that forget God. They will be punished with everlasting destruction, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. They will be cast into the lake of fire burning with brimstone, originally prepared for the devil and his angels; where they will gnaw their tongues for anguish and pain, they will curse God and look upward: there the dogs of hell, pride, malice, revenge, rage, horror, despair continually devour them. There they have no rest, day or night, but the smoke of their torment ascendeth for ever and ever. For their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.
