Mark 9:48

People that go to hell will feel like they are being eaten by worms that never die. And they will feel like their bodies are being burnt by a fire that never goes out.

Barkly (portions)

In The King James Version

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

In Context

49You know how you put a little bit of salt on your food, well just like that, God sends little bits of trouble to people. And those troubles are like small fires.
