if_o you_o seek_v he_o he_o will_v be_v find_v of_o you_o but_o if_o you_o forsake_v he_o he_o will_v forsake_v you_o the_o second_o be_v take_v from_o the_o misery_n of_o the_o ten_o tribe_n who_o be_v out_o of_o god_n way_n concerning_o who_o he_o speak_v to_o this_o effect_n that_o for_o a_o long_a time_n israel_n that_o be_v the_o ten_o tribe_n have_v be_v without_o god_n and_o without_o a_o
