¹⁷ The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.

²² "Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.

¹³ So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man shall perish,

¹⁵ If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

⁷ and to give relief to you that are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

⁸ giving vengeance to those who don't know God, and to those who don't obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus,

⁹ who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

⁸ but to those who are self-seeking, and don't obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation,

⁹ oppression and anguish, on every soul of man who works evil, on the Jew first, and also on the Greek.

¹⁴ Therefore Sheol{Sheol is the place of the dead.} has enlarged its desire, And opened its mouth without measure; And their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it.

⁸ But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers,{The word for "sorcerers" here also includes users of potions and drugs.} idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

⁴¹ Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;

⁴² for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;

⁴³ I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'

⁴⁴ "Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'

⁴⁵ "Then he will answer them, saying, 'Most assuredly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn't do it to one of the least of these, you didn't do it to me.'

⁴⁶ These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

¹³ I will visit on her the days of the Baals, To which she burned incense, When she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, And went after her lovers, And forgot me," says Yahweh.

¹⁵ For my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to false [gods]; and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in byways, in a way not built up;

²⁵ This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me, says Yahweh; because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

²¹ A voice is heard on the bare heights, the weeping [and] the petitions of the children of Israel; because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Yahweh their God.

³² Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.

¹¹ Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them; For the deeds of his hands will be paid back to him.

³² The wicked is brought down in his calamity, But in death, the righteous has a refuge.

¹³ They soon forgot his works. They didn't wait for his counsel,

¹⁴ They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, Far from their mansion.

²⁰ If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

¹⁷ All this has come on us, Yet have we not forgotten you, Neither have we been false to your covenant.
