The torments of hell, are expressed sometimes, by “weeping and gnashing of teeth,” as Matt. 8:12. Sometimes by “the worm of conscience”; as Isaiah 66:24, and Mark 9:44, 46, 48: sometimes, by fire, as in the place now quoted, “where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched,” and many places beside: sometimes by “shame and contempt,” as Dan.
