the_o two_o last_o verse_n of_o the_o precede_a chapter_n compare_v with_o rev._n 16.12_o 13_o 14_o 16._o and_o with_o the_o 7_o chap._n of_o this_o prophecy_n and_o other_o prophecy_n do_v

against_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o bodily_a liberty_n and_o native_a inheritance_n doubtless_o it_o be_v rather_o for_o this_o then_o for_o the_o other_o see_v they_o do_v reveal_v also_o many_o
