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 — own iniquities — and what happens in the verse to wicked, man, 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. עַֽווֹנוֹתָ֗יויִלְכְּדֻנ֥וֹ אֶת־הָרָשָׁ֑ע וּבְחַבְלֵ֥י חַ֝טָּאת֗וֹ יִתָּמֵֽךְ׃ [His own iniquities shall ensnare the wicked, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sin.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PRO.139/) ## 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:138 # text = עַֽווֹנוֹתָ֗יויִלְכְּדֻנ֥וֹ אֶת־הָרָשָׁ֑ע וּבְחַבְלֵ֥י חַ֝טָּאת֗וֹ יִתָּמֵֽךְ׃ # verse = PRO.5.22 1-4 עַֽווֹנוֹתָ֗יויִלְכְּדֻנ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 עַֽווֹנוֹתָ֗י עָוֺן NOUN _ Number=Plur 3 nsubj _ Gloss=iniquities|Ref=PRO_5:22!1|MId=o200050220011|Strong=5771 2 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 1 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=PRO_5:22!1|MId=o200050220012|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 3 יִלְכְּדֻ לָכַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they|Ref=PRO_5:22!2|MId=o200050220021|Strong=3920|Frame=A0:200050220011;A1:200050220022;|Type=yiqtol 4 נ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 obj _ Gloss=will.seize.him|Ref=PRO_5:22!2|MId=o200050220022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=PRO_5:22!3|MId=o200050220031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 הָרָשָׁ֑ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the.wicked|Ref=PRO_5:22!4|MId=o200050220041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 רָשָׁ֑ע רָשָׁע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 appos _ Gloss=[person]|Ref=PRO_5:22!4|MId=o200050220042|Strong=7563|Type=adjective 8-10 וּבְחַבְלֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PRO_5:22!5|MId=o200050220051|Strong=2050b 9 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=PRO_5:22!5|MId=o200050220052|Strong=0871a 10 חַבְלֵ֥י חֶבֶל NOUN _ Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=the.cords|Ref=PRO_5:22!5|MId=o200050220053|Strong=2256 11-12 חַ֝טָּאת֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 חַ֝טָּאת חַטָּאת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.sin|Ref=PRO_5:22!6|MId=o200050220061|Strong=2403 12 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=PRO_5:22!6|MId=o200050220062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13 יִתָּמֵֽךְ תָּמַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=he.will.be.held|Ref=PRO_5:22!7|MId=o200050220071|Strong=8551|Frame=A1:200050220042;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 14 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 13 punct _ Ref=PRO_5:22!7 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִלְכְּדֻ *they* | yiqtol · qal | עַֽווֹנוֹתָי *iniquities* | נוֹ *will seize him* | | | | יִתָּמֵֽךְ *he will be held* | yiqtol · niphal | | רָשָׁע *\[person\]* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
