God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness to be reserved unto judgment. He spared not the old world, but brought in the flood upon the ungodly, 2 Peter 2:4     whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. And the heavens and the earth which are now, are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of jugment, and perdition of ungodly men. 2 Peter 3:6     When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. 2 Thessalonians 1:7     Thus the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness. Romans 1:18     And thus sin bringeth forth death, James 1:15     and sin hath reigned unto death. Romans 5:21

Children are left fatherless, and their mothers are widows. Lovers and friends are put far away, and acquaintance into darkness. Psalm 88:18

O thou afflicted, tossed with a tempest, Isaiah 54:11     and not comforted! Isaiah 54:11     refrain thy voice from weeping and thine eyes from tears. Jeremiah 31:16     Sorrow not as others which have no hope. 1 Thessalonians 4:13     Say not my wound is incurable, it refuseth to be healed; Jeremiah 15:18     mine eyes shall never more see good; Job 7:7     I am stripped of my glory, there
