Shlama Khulkon:
The origin of the phrase, ?Where their worm does not die and their fire is not quenched.?- is found in Isaiah 66:24. They are also in the New Testament Peshitta. All too often there are those that do not take a moment to check if indeed their origin is in the TaNaK (Old Testament. Christianity is splintered partially because they do not seek to verify the Words of Yeshua as to their origin. Another example of is the command (second greatest) "love your neighbour as yourself". The full context of this saying is found in Leviticus 19:9-18. When Yeshua quoted from the TaNaK he chose a short, potent portion and left the rest to us to partake of the search by opening our ears and our eyes. The Tri-Annual reading of the Parsha in the Synagogue, in His day allowed the people to take part in the reading of the scriptures and various topics were discussed in the Midrash on Shabbat. Along came Yeshua and confirmed the Words of the TaNaK.
Therefore, seeing that in the Peshitta Yeshua quotes these partial portions it is up to the onus is on the seeker of truth to find the origin and read it within the context in which it was originally intended,as Moses our Teacher wrote it by dictation from YHVH. This sheds light on the quotation, where guessing and speculation fail miserably. I hope this may help someone pondering these things and seeking the Truth of the Scriptures.
