Isaiah 66:22-24

Common English Bible

²²As the new heavens and the new earth that I’m making will endure before me, says the Lord,
    so your descendants and your name will endure.
²³From month to month and from Sabbath to Sabbath,
    all humanity will come to worship me, says the Lord.
²⁴They will go out and see the corpses
    of the people who rebelled against me,
    where their worm never dies, where their fire is never extinguished.
        They will be a horror to everyone.

Mark 9:42-50

Common English Bible

⁴²“As for whoever causes these little ones who believe in me to trip and fall into sin, it would be better for them to have a huge stone hung around their necks and to be thrown into the lake. ⁴³If your hand causes you to fall into sin, chop it off. It’s better for you to enter into life crippled than to go away with two hands into the fire of hell, which can’t be put out.^[a] ⁴⁵If your foot causes you to fall into sin, chop it off. It’s better for you to enter life lame than to be thrown into hell with two feet.^[b] ⁴⁷If your eye causes you to fall into sin, tear it out. It’s better for you to enter God’s kingdom with one eye than to be thrown into hell with two. ⁴⁸That’s a place where worms don’t die and the fire never goes out.^[c] ⁴⁹Everyone will be salted with fire. ⁵⁰Salt is good; but if salt loses its saltiness, how will it become salty again? Maintain salt among yourselves and keep peace with each other.”
