therefore_o they_o be_v black_a because_o their_o kind_n be_v wicked_a of_o the_o second_o mountain_n which_o be_v smooth_a be_v the_o feign_a hypocrite_n who_o have_v believe_v and_o the_o teacher_n

because_o the_o poor_a man_n be_v rich_a in_o prayer_n and_o his_o request_n have_v great_a power_n with_o the_o lord_n then_o the_o rich_a man_n minister_v all_o thing_n to_o the_o poor_a because_o
