The Lord hates wickedness
* Contrast between wickedness and righteousness
Psalm 11:4-7
The Lord is in His holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. The Lord tests the righteous but the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
Upon the wicked He will rain coals, fire and brimstone and a burning wind; this shall be be the portion of their cup.
For the Lord is righteous; He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.
Psalm 32:10
Many are the sorrows shall be to the wicked; but he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him.
Psalm 37:17,18
For the arms of the wicked will be broken; but the Lord upholds the righteous.
The Lord knows the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever.
Pslam 75:10
All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
Punishment - Hell
Matthew 5:22,29
But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever syas to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.
And if your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.
Matthew 10:28
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 18:9
..............to be cast into hell fire.
Matthew 23:15
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.
There are 53 references to "hell", many, many, many of "fire". Genesis 19:24
Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens.
