The word ‘pessima’ in this context does not mean morally bad, as if there were sin in dying itself, but it refers to something that is harmful, for there is great harm to oneself and to the world when someone dies without repenting.(Conte)
23 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants, and none of those who hope in him will fare badly.
