look_v from_o heaven_n he_o behold_v all_o the_o son_n of_o man_n from_o the_o place_n of_o his_o habitation_n he_o look_v upon_o all_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o earth_n he_o fashion_v their_o

may_v be_v understand_v that_o he_o our_o god_n or_o a_o evil_a spirit_n from_o the_o lord_n act_v in_o every_o man_n and_o woman_n by_o thought_n or_o imagination_n by_o thought_n i_o mean_v such_o

with_o evil_a neither_o tempt_v he_o any_o man_n james_n 1._o 13._o so_o do_v not_o thou_o say_v that_o god_n act_n in_o man_n or_o woman_n by_o false_a or_o evil_a imagination_n for_o god_n can_v
