from_o they_o for_o to_o such_o many_o time_n may_v be_v apply_v the_o word_n we_o read_v in_o the_o three_o of_o job_n wherefore_o be_v light_n give_v to_o he_o that_o be_v in_o misery_n and_o life_n to_o the_o bitter_a in_o soul_n which_o long_o for_o death_n but_o it_o come_v not_o and_o dig_v for_o it_o more_o than_o for_o hide_a treasure_n to_o such_o person_n than_o death_n be_v rather_o a_o
