# Job 17:1 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** days, grave · **What happens:** consume, be · **To what, where:** spirit

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Job 17:1 · 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 (days, grave), 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.
