prophet_n ezekiel_n sometime_o have_v the_o expression_n ezek._n 7.5_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n a_o evil_a a_o only_a evil_n behold_v be_v come_v this_o be_v such_o a_o evil_a a_o only_a evil_n to_o a_o people_n a_o evil_n whilst_o god_n be_v present_a may_v have_v much_o good_a in_o it_o the_o lord_n may_v sanctify_v it_o for_o abundance_n of_o blessing_n there_o be_v hope_n of_o this_o whilst_o the_o lord_n continue_v among_o they_o but_o if_o he_o be_v go_v it_o be_v a_o only_a evil_n and_o the_o evil_n that_o come_v upon_o they_o be_v such_o they_o have_v nothing_o but_o evil_a in_o they_o 4._o because_o no_o creature_n can_v then_o afford_v any_o help_n for_o what_o can_v creature_n do_v when_o god_n be_v depart_v he_o make_v the_o creature_n useful_a and_o helpful_a but_o

he_o answer_v if_o the_o lord_n do_v help_n whence_o shall_v i_o help_v thou_o all_o creature_n may_v say_v if_o god_n be_v depart_v we_o can_v help_v nay_o the_o very_a devil_n can_v help_v if_o

they_o sin_n have_v fly_v in_o the_o face_n of_o such_o and_o terify_v they_o oh_o the_o bless_a god_n be_v go_v and_o if_o he_o be_v go_v mercy_n be_v go_v and_o oh_o for_o such_o and_o such_o sin_n that_o lie_v upon_o i_o what_o shall_v i_o do_v what_o a_o moan_n have_v saint_n themselves_o make_v in_o such_o a_o case_n as_o david_n psal_n 22.1_o 2._o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o why_o be_v thou_o so_o far_o from_o help_v i_o and_o from_o the_o word_n of_o my_o roar_n oh_o my_o god_n i_o cry_v in_o the_o day_n time_n but_o thou_o hear_v not_o and_o in_o the_o

be_v depart_v from_o he_o 6_o it_o be_v a_o sore_a punishment_n in_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o punishment_n of_o hell_n the_o essential_a part_n of_o that_o punishment_n be_v
