lake of fire
Hell's flaming waters
A lake of fire is a place of fiery torment for the damned, drawn from the Book of Revelation, where Satan, death, and sinners are cast into it after final judgment.
The image appears in evangelical Christianity as a vivid depiction of hell: The preacher warned that unbelievers would be thrown into the lake of fire.
Sometimes used figuratively for any place of extreme suffering or punishment.
