Key Observation from Nave's¶
Nave's "PUNISHMENT -- ACCORDING TO DEEDS" category lists 15 cross-references all teaching proportional punishment (Job 34:11; Ps 62:12; Prov 12:14; Isa 59:18; Jer 17:10; Ezek 7:3,27; Mat 16:27; Luk 12:47,48; etc.). This is a well-attested biblical principle with both OT and NT support.
Nave's "JUDGMENTS" entry catalogs 20+ historical divine judgments. In every case, the result is death/destruction -- never ongoing torment.
