The punishment of the wicked dead in hell is described throughout Scripture as “eternal fire” (Matthew 25:41), “unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12), “shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2), a place where “the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:44-49), a place of “torment” and “fire” (Luke 16:23-24), “everlasting destruction” (2 Thessalonians 1:9), a place where “the smoke of torment rises forever and ever” (Revelation 14:10-11), and a “lake of burning sulfur” where the wicked are “tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10).
Ang impiyerno ay inilarawan sa Bibliya na "apoy na di mamamatay" (Mateo 25:41), "apoy na di mamamatay kailanman" (Mateo 3:12), "kaparusahang walang hanggan" (Daniel 12:2), isang dako na ang "apoy ay hindi namamatay" (Markos 9:44-49), isang dako ng "paghihirap" at isang dako ng "apoy" (Lukas 16:23-24). "walang hanggang kapahamakan" (2 Tesalonica 1:9). Isang dako na "ang usok mula sa apoy na nagpapahirap sa kanila ay paiilanlang magpakailanman" (Pahayag 14:10-11) at "lawang apoy at asupre" na kung saan ang mga masasama ay "pahihirapan, araw at gabi, magpakailanman" (Pahayag 20:10).
