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 hurl someone down. The comparison to crushing a worm and cutting a thread emphasizes how easily God could throw his enemies down to hell, so “throw with force” is the best match.
