# Job 39:4 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Their young ones wax strong, they grow up in the open field; they go forth, and return not again.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** young ones, hinds · **What happens:** wax, grow up, go, not return · **To what, where:** open field

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Job 39:4 · 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 (young ones, hinds), 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.
