earth_n 6._o he_o say_v not_o you_o shall_v have_v no_o treasure_n to_o have_v treasure_n and_o to_o hoard_v treasure_n be_v diverse_a he_o that_o hoard_v up_o treasure_n show_v that_o he_o have_v a_o careful_a mind_n to_o keep_v they_o but_o a_o man_n may_v possess_v treasure_n and_o yet_o with_o free_a heart_n be_v willing_a to_o employ_v they_o to_o godly_a purpose_n like_v as_o job_n do_v who_o
