Hell is a place of pure justice. In this life, God in anger remembers mercy; he mixeth compassion with suffering. Asher's shoe was of iron, but his foot was dipt in oil. Affliction is the iron shoe, but mercy is mixed with it. But the torments of the damned have no mixture: "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture" (Rev. xiv. 10). No mixture of mercy.

Thomas Watson A Body of Practical Divinity, discourse on the justice/wrath of God (ascent from Deut. 33:25 and Rev. 14:10)
