distinguish_v who_o do_v or_o who_o do_v not_o injure_v or_o offend_v they_o but_o take_v every_o one_o for_o their_o foe_n it_o be_v say_v isay_n 57.20_o that_o the_o wicked_a be_v like_a to_o the_o

into_o a_o passion_n he_o vomit_v up_o all_o the_o filthiness_n of_o his_o heart_n and_o cast_v it_o upon_o god_n like_o the_o assyrian_a king_n who_o be_v offend_v and_o enrage_v against_o israel_n

because_o he_o be_v injure_v or_o affront_v by_o his_o enemy_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v it_o be_v a_o rash_a and_o wicked_a speech_n of_o jehoram_n the_o son_n of_o ahab_n when_o samaria_n

will_v take_v off_o his_o head_n because_o he_o have_v slay_v the_o prophet_n of_o baal_n when_o he_o be_v only_o a_o instrument_n in_o god_n hand_n and_o only_o say_v and_o do_v what_o he_o be_v command_v which_o they_o may_v have_v know_v and_o understand_v if_o they_o will_v and_o probable_o they_o do_v but_o god_n be_v too_o high_a and_o out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o their_o malice_n and_o

not_o own_o that_o their_o quarrel_n be_v against_o god_n but_o against_o aaron_n but_o now_o swearer_n be_v more_o bold_a and_o impudent_a in_o their_o sin_n than_o these_o who_o ever_o affront_v
