When Melville describes Ahab as being tormented by "far other hammers," he is suggesting that Ahab's suffering and obsession go beyond the typical challenges faced by others. Ahab's inner turmoil and relentless pursuit of revenge against Moby Dick are driven by deeper, more complex forces that set him apart from those around him.

Where in the Bible is there a verse about being tormented in the grave from the things and or people you tormented?

Depends on which bible you are talking about. If you are talking about the Christian bible, you cannot be tormented in the grave. According to the beliefs of the Christian bible, if you do not accept Jesus Christ as your savior, and become born again, then you lay asleep in the grave until judgement day. This is a death sleep, one in which you will wake up and it will be just as if no time has passed. For the Christian, one who is "born again" (according to John Chapter 3), when you are absent from the body, you are present with Christ. Torment is to be separated from God, and we will answer for the things that we do, but we will not be tormented by those that we hurt, they do not have the power.
