You would highlight burns against them and the fire is made ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them, the flames do now rage and glow.

You would highlight those things because God's wrath is being personified as, or compared to, a fire, as revealed in the line the wrath of God burns against them. The fire is made ready... seems like an extended metaphor.

The imagery can be found at the time the text states that the fire is prepared for those who activate the wrath of God and that the furnace is lit to burn sinners.

This can be seen because imagery is a figure of speech that seeks to convey direct sensations to the reader, stimulating the five senses.

When the text talks about the burning fire, the furnace flames, the high temperature, and the ability of that fire to burn a human body, the author is using imagery and stimulating the reader's touch, smell and vision.

It is important to remember that figures of speech are used to:

  • Highlight an idea.
  • Generate comparisons.
  • Generate rhythmic pattern.
  • Deepen a meaning.
  • Make the text's ideas more subjective.
  • Promote mental images and sensations in the reader.

With that, we can conclude that the use of imagery by the author was very important to reach the objective of the text, which was to provoke fear of hell and its eternal fire.
