14-1. The face is mentioned because it is the most important and noble part of the human body, otherwise Hell will encompass the entire body.
14-2. The meaning of کَلَحً is that the lips shrink so that the teeth become exposed. The lips are like the clothing of the teeth; when they contract and shrink due to the fire of Hell, the teeth will become visible, making the appearance of the person deformed and frightening.
