SN 22.99 ¶3–5

There comes a time, bhikkhus, when the great ocean dries up, evaporates, and is no more; yet I do not say there is a making an end of suffering for beings who, obstructed by ignorance and fettered by craving, run on and wander in this cycle of existence.

There comes a time, bhikkhus, when Sineru, the king of mountains, burns up, perishes, and is no more; yet I do not say there is a making an end of suffering for beings who, obstructed by ignorance and fettered by craving, run on and wander in this cycle of existence.

There comes a time, bhikkhus, when the great earth burns up, perishes, and is no more; yet I do not say there is a making an end of suffering for beings who, obstructed by ignorance and fettered by craving, run on and wander in this cycle of existence.
