Explanation:

Reflecting to the given excerpt, it is so easy for humans to tread on and crush a worm crawling on the earth or to cut a single thread that hangs by. It talks about the effortless capacity of a human to do such things easily. It does not require any great effort nor it is labor-intensive.

Similarly, it is easy for God to cast his enemies down to hell anytime he pleases. It helps us to understand the power and authority of God as a supreme entity. By 'cast', it means 'to throw' his enemies into the pits of hell. Thus, God can throw his enemies down to hell just like humans can easily crush a worm.
