Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous." Similarly, in Revelation 20:15, we are told that anyone whose name is not found written in the book of life will be thrown into the lake of fire.

Similarly, in Proverbs 10:2-3, we are told that the wicked are those who "perish" and "are punished" for their sins.

The Fate of the Wicked

In Psalm 9:16-17, we read, "The Lord has made himself known, he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands." Similarly, in Revelation 21:8, we are told that the wicked will be thrown into the lake of fire, where they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
