Matthew 13:47-50
English Standard Version
The Parable of the Net
47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is (A)like a net that was thrown into the sea and (B)gathered fish of every kind. 48 When it was full, (C)men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. 49 So it will be at (D)the end of the age. The angels will come out and (E)separate the evil from the righteous 50 (F)and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place (G)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

International Standard Version
The Parable about a Net
47 “Again, the kingdom from[a] heaven is like a large net thrown into the sea that gathered all kinds of fish. 48 When it was full, the fishermen[b] hauled it ashore. Then they sat down, sorted the good fish into containers, and threw the bad ones away. 49 That is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out, cull out the evil people from among the righteous ones, 50 and will throw them into a blazing furnace. In that place there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”[c]
