Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

Hell and destruction (Hebrew, Sheol and Abaddon) (are) before the Lord. "Destruction" - i:e., the place of destruction or damnation; Gehenna, as distinguished from Sheol or Hades the unseen world of departed spirits in general. Though unseen by our eyes, those dark abodes are plainly seen by God (; ; cf. ). "The angel of the bottomless pit" is called in Hebrew, "Abaddon;" in Greek, "Apollyon" ().

How much more then the hearts of the children of men? Let not 'forsakers of the way' () think even their secret thoughts can escape the eye of God.
