and_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n will_v be_v your_o rearward_n and_o man_n you_o know_v have_v the_o sovereignty_n of_o all_o that_o move_v on_o the_o earth_n as_o the_o eagle_n of_o all_o that_o fly_v

in_o that_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v oxe-feet_n it_o signify_v they_o neither_o affect_v nor_o travel_n for_o that_o which_o be_v useless_a and_o unprofitable_a 55.2_o isa._n 55.2_o they_o do_v
