Renunciations of murmuring, listening, litigiousness, false calumny, false witnessings, boastings, gluttony, and garrulity are linked to deliverance from fire or judgments of the face of a dog, punishments or pits of Ariel, and judgments or fire of Amente.
Punitive imagery includes the face of a dog, faces of dragons, a lion face, a crocodile-faced ruler, and the great dragon of the outer Darkness.
