King James Version
19 Whose end is destruction,
whose God is their belly,
and whose glory is in their shame,
who mind earthly things.)
What is hell like?
Who are bound for hell?
Who can save us from it?
As always, SPIRIT leads me to Scripture.
Here's what the LORD JESUS says of "hell":
Matthew 5:21-22
King James Version
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time,
Thou shalt not kill;
and whosoever shall kill
shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you,
That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause
shall be in danger of the judgment:
and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca,
shall be in danger of the council:
but whosoever shall say, Thou fool,
shall be in danger of hell fire.
Matthew 13:49-50
King James Version

the angels shall come forth,
and sever the wicked from among the just,
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire:
there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 23:29-33
King James Version
29 Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites!
because ye build the tombs of the prophets,
and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say,
If we had been in the days of our fathers,
we would not have been partakers with them
in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves,
that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents,
ye generation of vipers,
how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Matthew 24:50-51
King James Version
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day
when he looketh not for him,
and in an hour that he is not aware of,

there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Depart from me,
ye cursed,
into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels:

into everlasting punishment:
but the righteous into life eternal.

hath power to cast into hell;
yea, I say unto you,
Fear him.

being in torments,
and seeth Abraham afar off,
and Lazarus in his bosom.

that he may dip the tip of his finger in water,
and cool my tongue;
for I am tormented in this flame.

whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost,
and with fire:
12 Whose fan is in his hand,
and he will throughly purge his floor,
and gather his wheat into the garner;
but he will burn up the chaff
with unquenchable fire.

shall all flesh come to worship before me,
saith the Lord.

that have transgressed against me:
