⁴⁰ In the parable, I told you the weeds would be pulled up and burned—well, that is how it will be at the end of this age. ⁴¹ The Son of Man will send His messengers out into the world, and they will root out from His kingdom everything that is poisonous, ugly, and malicious, and everyone who does evil. ⁴² They will throw all that wickedness into the fiery furnace where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
