This reminds me of the book of Micah 6:8 ,He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good ;and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God.

This is where he shifts the energy and now starts depicting how to please God and stopping him from casting you to hell. The simplicity of walking and spreading his word. Once the belief of God spread the more people believed and trusted in him to seek his word and knowledge.

I like how he says this, even while you sit in this place of solemn worship , meaning I'm speaking to the ones sitting here as if your sinful ways actions and thoughts go unnoticed by God. I'm speaking to the ones whom mimic and pretend that you don't know of your wrong ways and continue to dwell in the house of the lord and mock this precious pity God has on you. wrong instead of doing what's right. Even you continue to act as if you don't notice the mercy God on you.

In this description, the comparison of man to a insect, and the level of rage and anger towards our stubborn and sinful ways depicts that God is disappointed in a way that can't be over turned. The excerpt describes that we are more minuet then even a bug. That we have committed the ultimate sin that cannot be forgiven. The most heinous sin "ten thousand times" worst then the biggest sin, yet even in the mist of this rage God still keeps you out the pits of hell.

Jonathan Edwards uses the word "misery" to depict the time and setting of a great sorrow or sad era. Like saying in this time while at your worst. This one word describes the trying times that the people were going through. In the next line the depiction and visual description of hell was unimaginable versus modern day image. "a wide gaping mouth open" describes this bottomless flame of horror, that only God's mercy to is keeping you from "tis only the power and mere pleasure of God that holds you up".
