Luke 16:23-24
In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side. So he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. For I am in agony in this fire.’

One song meets this passage
“hell is hot, I know because I'm here now”
Money, Power & Respect (feat. DMX & Lil' Kim) [2016 Remaster] · The LOX
resonates with Luke 16:23-24
DMX's vivid, almost confessional dread of hell echoes the rich man's torment in Jesus' parable, a rare moment of real spiritual fear breaking through the bravado.
