Revelation 20:11-15
Wycliffe Bible
11 And I saw a great white throne, and one sitting on it, from whose sight earth fled and heaven [from whose sight earth flew away and heaven]; and the place is not found of them.
12 And I saw dead men, great and small, standing in the sight of the throne; and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and dead men were deemed of these things that were written in the books, after the works of them.
13 And the sea gave his dead men, that were in it; and death and hell gave their dead men [and death and hell gave their dead], that were in them. And it was deemed of each [And it is deemed of all], after the works of them.
14 And hell and death were sent into the pool of fire [And death and hell be sent into pool of fire]. This is the second death.
15 And he that was not found written in the book of life, was sent into the pool of fire.

New Matthew Bible
11 And I saw a great white seat, and him that sat on it, from whose face both the earth and heaven fled away; and their place was found no more. 12 And I saw the dead, both great and small, stand before God. And the books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by those things that were written in the books, according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up the dead that were in her, and death and hell delivered up the dead that were in them. And they were judged, every person according to his deeds. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire; this is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
