In this specific passage of the sermon, Edwards is describing in graphic details the fate of those who sin. He presents an image of hell "<em>gaping for them, flames gather(ing) and flash(ing) about them</em>" while "<em>the devil is waiting for them</em>". This parallel language structure projects an image of hell as enormous, daunting and dangerous, which it rightly is. But with the choice of words that he employs, he was able to instill a sense of fear in his listeners.

He verbally perfects showing an image that will frighten them and make then turn away from their sins.
