# 2 Chronicles 36:22 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying:

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** LORD, mouth · **What happens:** accomplish, stir up, make, put, say, word · **To what, where:** word, spirit, proclamation, writing, LORD · **Speech:** someone speaks here

This is 2 Chronicles 36:22 · JPS 1917 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (LORD, mouth), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.
