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 — wicked, mercy — and what happens in the verse to evil, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 31 chapters of Proverbs on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. הֲ‍ֽלוֹא־יִ֭תְעוּ חֹ֣רְשֵׁי רָ֑ע וְחֶ֥סֶד וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת חֹ֣רְשֵׁי טֽוֹב׃ [Shall they not go astray that devise evil?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PRO.396/) [But mercy and truth shall be for them that devise good.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PRO.397/) ## The tree {#tree} 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. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:PRO:393 # text = הֲ‍ֽלוֹא־יִ֭תְעוּ חֹ֣רְשֵׁי רָ֑ע וְחֶ֥סֶד וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת חֹ֣רְשֵׁי טֽוֹב׃ # verse = PRO.14.22 1-2 הֲ‍ֽלוֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הֲ‍ֽ הֲ PART _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=PRO_14:22!1|MId=o200140220011|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 2 לוֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=PRO_14:22!1|MId=o200140220012|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3 יִ֭תְעוּ תָּעָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=do.they.go.astray|Ref=PRO_14:22!2|MId=o200140220021|Strong=8582|Frame=A0:200140220031;|Type=yiqtol 4 חֹ֣רְשֵׁי חָרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 3 nsubj _ Gloss=[those.who].devise|Ref=PRO_14:22!3|MId=o200140220031|Strong=2790|Frame=A1:200140220041;|Type=participle_active 5 רָ֑ע רַע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(of).evil|Ref=PRO_14:22!4|MId=o200140220041|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 6-7 וְחֶ֥סֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PRO_14:22!5|MId=o200140220051|Strong=2050b 7 חֶ֥סֶד חֶסֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=loyalty|Ref=PRO_14:22!5|MId=o200140220052|Strong=2617 8-9 וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וֶ֝ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PRO_14:22!6|MId=o200140220061|Strong=2050b 9 אֱמֶ֗ת אֱמֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 conj _ Gloss=faithfulness|Ref=PRO_14:22!6|MId=o200140220062|Strong=0571 10 חֹ֣רְשֵׁי חָרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 3 conj _ Gloss=[those.who].devise|Ref=PRO_14:22!7|MId=o200140220071|Strong=2790|Frame=A1:200140220081;|Type=participle_active 11 טֽוֹב טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(of).good|Ref=PRO_14:22!8|MId=o200140220081|Strong=2896|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 12 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 11 punct _ Ref=PRO_14:22!8 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: yes/no question - act: ask - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יִתְעוּ *do they go astray* | yiqtol · qal | חֹרְשֵׁי *\[those who\] devise* | | | | | חֹרְשֵׁי *\[those who\] devise* | participle active · qal | | רָע *(of) evil* | | | | חֹרְשֵׁי *\[those who\] devise* | participle active · qal | | טֽוֹב *(of) good* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
