Sighs from hell, or, The groans of a damned soul discovering from the 16th of Luke the lamentable state of the damned : and may fitly serve as a warning-word to sinners, both old and young, by faith in Jesus Christ, to avoid the same place of torment : with a discovery of the usefulness of the Scriptures as our safe conduct for avoiding the torments of hell / by John Bunyan.

As if he should say, What need have they that one should be sent to them from the dead? Have they not Moses and the Prophets? hath not Moses told them the danger of living in sin. Deut. 27. from ver. 15. to ver. 26. And chap. 28. 15. 16, 17, 18, 19. 20. &c. to the end of the Chapter: also chap. 29. 18, 19, 20, 21. hath he not there told them, what a sad state these persons are in, that ⟨p. 143⟩deceive themselves with the deceit of their hearts, saying, They shall have peace, though they follow their sins in these words. And when he heareth the words of this curse, he bless himself in his heart saying I shall have peace, though I go on or walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst. The Lord will not spare that man, but then the anger of the Lord, and his jealousy shall smoke against him, and all the curses that are written in this Book, shall lie upon him: and the Lord shall blot out his name from under Heaven.
