# Daniel 9:12 דָּנִיֵּאל

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Israel, judges · **What happens:** confirm, speak, judge, bring, not do, do · **To what, where:** word, us, great evil, whole heaven · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Daniel 9:12 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — Israel, judges — and what happens in the verse to word, us, great evil, whole heaven, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand  the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 12 chapters of Daniel on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

[And He hath confirmed His word, which He spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; so that under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/DAN.276/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss.
