2 Peter 2 4-2 Peter 2 9
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless( for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.

Job 18:14-21
He is torn from the security of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors.Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling.His roots dry up below and his branches wither above.The memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name in the land.He is driven from light into the realm of darkness and is banished from the world.He has no offspring or descendants among his people, no survivor where once he lived.People of the west are appalled at his fate; those of the east are seized with horror.Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man; such is the place of one who does not know God.”

Job 27:13-23
“ Here is the fate God allots to the wicked, the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:However many his children, their fate is the sword; his offspring will never have enough to eat.The plague will bury those who survive him, and their widows will not weep for them.Though he heaps up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay,what he lays up the righteous will wear, and the innocent will divide his silver.The house he builds is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut made by a watchman.He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest snatches him away in the night.The east wind carries him off, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.It claps its hands in derision and hisses him out of his place.”
