Is personification because flames can't actually swallow you like a person swallows food. It means that the sinner will be engulfed in the flames. leilani_turner https://padlet.com/leilani_turner/ie8e1tl2xf7t/wish/182427397 2017-08-23 19:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/leilani_turner/ie8e1tl2xf7t/wish/182427397 "Your wickedness makes you as it were heavy as lead..." Is a simile because its comparing wickedness to lead. This quote is just basically saying that your wickedness weighs you farther down to hell. leilani_turner https://padlet.com/leilani_turner/ie8e1tl2xf7t/wish/182670182 2017-08-24 19:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/leilani_turner/ie8e1tl2xf7t/wish/182670182 "...and that of an angry God, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood." This quote is a form of figurative language because you can't actually get drunk off of blood. But this is pretty much saying your death would be satisfactory to God if you were an abomination. leilani_turner https://padlet.com/leilani_turner/ie8e1tl2xf7t/wish/182671328 2017-08-24 19:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/leilani_turner/ie8e1tl2xf7t/wish/182671328 "God's hand has held you up." is an example of figurative language because we are not literally being held by his hands. This quote means that God has been keeping you on this Earth and has not yet cast you down to hell. leilani_turner https://padlet.com/leilani_turner/ie8e1tl2xf7t/wish/182672717 2017-08-24 19:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/leilani_turner/ie8e1tl2xf7t/wish/182672717 "That lake of burning brimstone, is extended abroad under you." is also a form of figurative language because there is not actually a lake of burning brimstone under you. This quote means to say that there is a hell waiting for you leilani_turner https://padlet.com/leilani_turner/ie8e1tl2xf7t/wish/182673977 2017-08-24 19:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/leilani_turner/ie8e1tl2xf7t/wish/182673977
