burn in hell

Suffer forever below

Burn in hell is a curse wishing someone eternal damnation and suffering.

It expresses intense anger or contempt: You can burn in hell for what you did to her.

The phrase invokes the Christian concept of hell as a place of fire and torment for the wicked.

Sometimes used more casually as emphatic dismissal: If they don't like it, they can burn in hell.
