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.

And did they make them welcome? No, But mocked the Messengers of God, and despised his words: And was that all? No, they misused his Prophets. How long? until the wrath of the Lord arose against them: Till there was no remedy. See also Jer. 29. 19. chap. 25. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Luke 11. 49.
