And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 20 of Revelation. John sees a great white throne and the dead, great and small, standing before God. The books are opened together with the book of life, and the dead are judged according to their works. The sea, death, and Hades give up their dead, showing that no realm can retain those who will be summoned to judgment. Finally, death and Hades are thrown into the lake of fire, called the second death. The final destiny of those whose names are not found in the book of life completes the judgment scene.

Und das Meer gab die Toten, die darin waren, und der Tod und die Hölle gaben die Toten, die darin waren; und sie wurden gerichtet, ein jeglicher nach seinen Werken.
Y el mar dio los muertos que estaban en Él; y la muerte y el infierno dieron los muertos que estaban en ellos; y fue hecho juicio de cada uno según sus obras.
El mar entregó a los muertos que había en él; la muerte y el Hades entregaron a los muertos que había en ellos. Cada uno fue juzgado según sus obras.
La mer rendit les morts qui étaient en elle, la mort et le séjour des morts rendirent les morts qui étaient en eux; et chacun fut jugé selon ses oeuvres.
E il mare rendè i morti che erano in esso; parimente la morte e l’inferno renderono i lor morti; ed essi furono giudicati, ciascuno secondo le sue opere.
E deu o mar os mortos que nele havia; e a morte e o inferno deram os mortos que neles havia; e foram julgados cada um segundo as suas obras.
於是海交出其中的死人,死亡和陰間也交出其中的死人;他們都照各人所行的受審判。
