I went to pray before the Blessed Sacrament and asked Jesus to comfort me in my sorrow after the person spoke those harsh words to me and told me to "go to hell." God led me to the following passage in scripture. It brought me the comfort that I needed at the time. God always reveals Himself to us in scripture.
"You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth and summonded from its far-off places, You whom I have and will not cast off - Fear not, I am with you;
I will strengthen you, and help you, and uphold you with my right hand of justice.
Yes, all shall be put to shame and disgrace who vent their anger against you; Those shall perish and come to nought who offer resistance. You shall seek out, but shall not find, those who strive against you; They shall be as nothing at all who do battle with you.
For I am the Lord, your God, who grasp your right hand; It is I who say to you, "Fear not, I will help you. Fear not, O worm Jacob, O maggot Israel; I will help you, says the Lord; your redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. I will make of you a threshing sledge, sharp, new, and double-edged, To thresh the mountains and crush them, to make the hills like chaff. When you winnow them, the wind shall carry them off and the storm shall scatter them. But you shall rejoice in the Lord, and glory in the Holy One of Israel.
The afflicted and the needy seek water in vain, their tongues are parched with thirst. I, the Lord, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them." Is 41:9-17
