# Ecclesiastes 9:6 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
As well their love, as their hatred and their envy, is long ago perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** love, living · **What happens:** perish, have, do, love, envy · **To what, where:** portion, thing, sun.

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ecclesiastes 9:6 · 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 (love, living), 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.
