Read the excerpt from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."We find it easy to tread on and crush a worm that we see crawling on the earth; so it is easy for us to cut or singe a slender thread that anything hangs by; thus easy is it for God when he pleases to cast his enemies down to hell.What is the denotation of the word “cast” in this excerpt?
Here, “cast” means to throw or send someone forcefully downward. The phrase “cast his enemies down to hell” emphasizes a forceful fall, so “throw with force” is the best choice; it does not suggest a casual or light toss.
