There is not. Not in an afterlife, at least. You may be thinking of the last judgement, which is part of the “resurrection of the dead” that I previously mentioned. That’s the part with the “weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
That is actually a parable, just as fictitious as the one that comes immediately before it. It utilizes Hellenist terms and imagery for the benefit of an audience familiar with those concepts.

But it is still literally scripture, where someone suffers in the afterlife.
That the moral of the story is the rich must share their wealth to avoid the same fate rather supports my position.
