There are many. Do you have a concordance? If not I would advise investing in one, they make your Bible studies a lot easier. Good luck and God bless you

If English was such a good language to translate the Bible to, we wouldn't need a Concordance. But we do, because English is not so good, along with the changing of meanings of words through time. Here, I will give you something written by a learned scholar. It's good to learn from them at times:

I was well within my Christian life when I realized that I have adopted a complete ideology concerning Hell, but really didn't research the topic independently. There has been a lot of crap on the internet about it, typically coming from the world's supply of born experts:

The Atheists.

Instead of believing their rich knowledge I decided to break the mold and try learning it from someone who actually was schooled in Hebrew, W.E. Vine's Expository Dictionary which has been edited by Merrill F. Unger, Th. M. , Th. D. , Ph. D.
and William White, Jr. , Th. M. , Ph. D.

I encourage all serious Christians to read this so that they do not have to wonder anymore about the topic of Hell.

from Vine's Expository Dictionary
Sheol
(Strong's 7585)

The 65 occurances of this word are distributed throughout every period of biblical Hebrew.

First, the word means a state of death: "For in death there is no rememberance of thee: in the grave, who shall give thee thanks?" (Psalm 6:5; cf. 18:5). It is the final resting place of all men: "They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave (Job 21:13). Hanna confessed that it was the omnipotent God who brings men to sheol (death) or kills them (1Samuel 2:6). "Sheol" is parallel to Hebrew words for "pit" or "hell" (Job 26:6). "corruption" or "decay" (Psalm 16:10), and "destruction" (Proverbs 15:11).

Second, "Sheol" is used of a place of conscious existence after death. In the first biblical appearance of the word Jacob said that he would "go down into the grave unto my son mourning" (Genesis 37:35). All men go to "Sheol" --- a place and state of consciousness after death (Psalm 16:10). The wicked recieve punishment there (Numbers 16:30); Deuteronomy 32:22; Psalm 9:17). They are put to shame and silenced in "Sheol" (Psalm 31:17). Jesus alluded to Isaiah's use of sheol (14:13-15) in pronouncing judgement on Capernaum (Matthew 11:23), translating:Sheol" as "Hades" or "Hell," meaning the place of conscious existence and judgement. It is an undesirable place for the wicked (Job 24:19) and a refuge for the righteous (Job 14:13). Thus "Sheol" is also a place of reward for the righteous (Hosea 13:14; cf. 1 Corinthians 15:55). Jesus' teaching in Luke 16:19-31 seems to reflect accurately the Old Testament concept of Sheol, it is a place of conscious existence after death, one side of which is occupied by the suffering. unrighteous dead separated by a great chasm from the other side peopled by the righteous dead enjoying their reward.

Matthew 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in 'hell'.
Jesus as He spoke to His Apostles.

"And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in 'hell' he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.Luke 16:22-23

Yes....

Jesus Christ Himself refers to it as a place where there will be "weeping & gnashing of teeth"

Matthew 13:41-43
The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
