1 Clement 25:2–5
2 There is a bird, which is named the phoenix. This, being the only one of its kind, liveth for five hundred years; and when it hath now reached the time of its dissolution that it should die, it maketh for itself a coffin of frankincense and myrrh and the other spices, into the which in the fullness of time it entereth, and so it dieth. (1CL) 3 But, as the flesh rotteth, a certain worm is engendered, which is nurtured from the moisture of the dead creature and putteth forth wings. Then, when it is grown lusty, it taketh up that coffin where are the bones of its parent, and carrying them journeyeth from the country of Arabia even unto Egypt, to the place called the City of the Sun; (1CL) 4 and in the daytime in the sight of all, flying to the altar of the Sun, it layeth them thereupon; and this done, it setteth forth to return. (1CL) 5 So the priests examine the registers of the times, and they find that it hath come when the five hundredth year is completed. (1CL)
Job 24:20–23
20 The womb forgets them; the worm feeds on them; they are remembered no more. So injustice is like a broken tree. 21 They prey on the barren and childless, and show no kindness to the widow. 22 Yet by His power, God drags away the mighty; though rising up, they have no assurance of life. 23 He gives them a sense of security, but His eyes are on their ways.
Mark 9:44–48
44 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’ (WEB) 45 If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. 46 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’ (WEB) 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’
Job 17:14
14 and say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

8 For the moth will devour them like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool. But My righteousness will last forever, My salvation through all generations.”

23 One man dies full of vigor, completely secure and at ease. 24 His body is well nourished, and his bones are rich with marrow. 25 Yet another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, having never tasted prosperity. 26 But together they lie down in the dust, and worms cover them both.
