it is a proverb from Palestine that simply means that women talk to much and their tongues are so long that hell's streets can be paved with them as they are so large and can cover so much area. The point is also that the much talking of women is something that belongs in hell.

The phrase "Hell is paved with good intentions" likely originated from Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, who lived in the 12th century. It suggests that good intentions without following through with action can lead to negative consequences.

How many times was hell written in the Old Testament?

None. The Israelites believed in the concept of Sheol, which is literally the "Grave". This was incorrectly translated as "Hell" in the 17th Century, but in modern translations, you will not find the word, "Hell" anywhere in the Old Testament. Now, it is correctly translated, "Grave". In the Old Testament, the afterlife was a mystery, and Israelites had no concept of Hell. It was sometime during the 400 years between the end of the Old Testament and the birth of Jesus Christ, that the Pharisees and Essenes started believing in the concept of Hell. The Sadducees however, did not believe in Hell.
