I said in my ecstasy: Every man is a liar

Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.


KJV Psalm 116.11:  I said in my haste, All men are liars.  

RSV Psalm 116.11:  I said in my consternation, "Men are all a vain hope."

LXX Psalm 115.2:   ἐγὼ εἶπα ἐν τῇ ἐκστάσει μου πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης

Look thou be true


 
 Look thou be true: do not give dalliance
Too much the rein; the strongest oaths are straw
To th' fire i' th' blood.
 
-- William Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act IV, Scene 1

He likes to think of hell as empty


 And all the devils are here.
