job_n have_v say_v he_o be_v vile_a yet_o god_n continue_v the_o storm_n because_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o low_a enough_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o that_o we_o be_v true_o humble_v as_o

37._o yet_o because_o his_o spirit_n be_v not_o come_v down_o as_o it_o shall_v therefore_o he_o must_v be_v awaken_v and_o humble_v more_o with_o another_o whirlwind_n he_o must_v be_v further_o

that_o which_o be_v so_o to_o he_o second_o a_o repent_a soul_n look_v upon_o sin_n as_o a_o hurtful_a thing_n to_o he_o we_o natural_o turn_v from_o and_o abhor_v that_o which_o be_v so_o we_o

answer_v first_o because_o he_o be_v convince_v that_o self-righteousness_n be_v a_o weak_a imperfect_a thing_n even_o in_o sanctification_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o boast_v of_o
