Explanation:

"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards is a sermon that gives a lot of human characteristics or attributes to hell in order to make it sound more horrifying since it could be a thing that has life in its own, the words Swallow, Lay hold and Gaping make reference to actions we do with human bodies and wicked and inathsome are characteristics that can be presented by any living or not thing.
