Brimstone
From BibleWiki
an inflammable mineral substance found in quantities on the shores of the Dead Sea. The cities of the plain were destroyed by a rain of fire and brimstone (Gen 19:24, 25). In Isa 34:9 allusion is made to the destruction of these cities. This word figuratively denotes destruction or punishment (Job 18:15; Isa 30:33; 34:9; Ps 116; Ezek 38:22). It is used to express the idea of excruciating torment in Rev 14:10; 19:20; 20:10.
