Matthew 13:40
38 The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.
41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness.
42 And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
