79 And if it is one of those who have been scorners and have not kept the way of the Most High, and that have despised his law, and who hate those who fear God, (WEB) 80 these spirits won’t enter into habitations, but will wander and be in torments immediately, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. (WEB) 81 The first way, because they have despised the law of the Most High. (WEB) 82 The second way, because they can’t now make a good repentance that they may live. (WEB) 83 The third way, they will see the reward laid up for those who have believed the covenants of the Most High. (WEB) 84 The fourth way, they will consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. (WEB) 85 The fifth way, they will see the dwelling places of the others guarded by angels, with great quietness. (WEB) 86 The sixth way, they will see how immediately some of them will pass into torment. (WEB) 87 The seventh way, which is more grievous than all the aforesaid ways, because they will pine away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and will be withered up by fears, seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they have sinned while living, and before whom they will be judged in the last times.
