KJV Word TypeNoun
DefinitionSulfur, a yellow mineral that burns with an acrid flame. In the KJV it appears as an instrument of divine judgment — most memorably in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and in the descriptions of hell as "a lake of fire and brimstone."
Key Verses"Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven." (Genesis 19:24); "But the fearful, and unbelieving... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." (Revelation 21:8)
