For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make stand before Me, says Jehovah, so will your seed and your name stand.

And they will go out and see the dead bodies of the men who have sinned against Me; for their worm will not die, nor will their fire be put out; and they will be an object of disgust to all flesh.
