The Bible teaches that those who reject God's will and persist in evil ways will face judgment and condemnation. According to Revelation 21:8, the wicked will be thrown into the fiery lake, while Malachi 4:3 foretells a day when the wicked will be trodden down like ashes. The Psalms, such as Psalms 37:32, describe how the wicked plot against the righteous, but ultimately, God sees and judges their actions. Meanwhile, Jesus warns in Matthew 10:28 that it is not just physical harm, but also spiritual destruction, that the wicked should fear, a theme echoed in 2 Peter 2:4, which notes that God did not spare angels who sinned.
