"a worm which preys upon dead bodies," is used metaphorically by the Lord in Mark 9:48; in some mss. vv. 44,46, cp. Isaiah 66:24 . The statement signifies the exclusion of the hope of restoration, the punishment being eternal.
denotes "devored by worms" (skolex, and bibrosko, "to eat"), Acts 12:23 .
