of_o the_o 10._o verse_n you_o hear_v how_o god_n will_v join_v they_o together_o but_o how_o shall_v they_o be_v join_v it_o shall_v be_v in_o their_o bondage_n they_o shall_v be_v bind_v together_o

with_o god_n to_o bring_v we_o again_o under_o the_o bondage_n of_o our_o enemy_n and_o bind_v we_o in_o our_o furrow_n together_o but_o ephraim_n think_v herself_o far_o from_o this_o no_o ephraim_n
