what_o observe_v we_o from_o hence_o that_o wherein_o wicked_a man_n have_v be_v most_o prosperous_a and_o successful_a observe_v even_o in_o this_o god_n will_v curse_v they_o and_o let_v out_o his_o

when_o they_o be_v use_v they_o can_v have_v no_o success_n at_o all_o but_o by_o he_o and_o so_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n in_o a_o peculiar_a sense_n he_o be_v the_o great_a
