Matthew 25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The Lord Jesus Christ is describing the kingdom of heaven. The promised Davidic kingdom on earth promised to the Israel of God, the little flock (Revelation 5:10 Luke 12:32).
It is only the righteous Jew that will enter the kingdom of heaven. It is only the profitable Jew who will enter. The unprofitable Jew will not enter the kingdom, but will be cast into outer darkness: outer darkness is not hell.
The outer darkness is often mistaken for hell. Outer darkness is described as weeping (see Matthew 25:30 above); in the verse below hell is described as wailing.
Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
