This place was so despised by the people after the righteous King Josiah abolished this hideous practice, that not only was it made into a garbage heap, but dead bodies of diseased animals and executed criminals were thrown there and burned.} into the unquenchable fire,

⁴⁶ 'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'

⁴⁷ If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,

⁴⁸ 'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'

¹⁵ Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

¹³ Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.'

¹² but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth."

²¹ Before I go where I shall not return from, To the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

²² The land dark as midnight, Of the shadow of death, without any order, Where the light is as midnight.'"

⁵ "Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.

⁶ The light shall be dark in his tent, His lamp above him shall be put out.

¹⁸ He shall be driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.

²⁰ Saying, 'Surely those who rose up against us are cut off, The fire has consumed the remnant of them.'

⁷ I will set my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them; and you shall know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them.

⁴⁷ and tell the forest of the South, Hear the word of Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby.

⁴⁸ All flesh shall see that I, Yahweh, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.
