How was Loki punished?

Loki was punished by the gods for his role in the death of Balder, the beloved god. They captured him and imprisoned him in a cave, where he was bound with the entrails of his son, while a serpent dripped venom onto his face. Loki's wife, Sigyn, stayed by his side, catching the venom in a bowl, but whenever she had to empty it, the venom would cause Loki to writhe in pain, leading to earthquakes. This punishment reflects the severity of his betrayal and deceit.
