# Job 22:23 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up — if thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents,

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** thou · **What happens:** return, build up, put away · **To what, where:** thou, unrighteousness, tents

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Job 22:23 · 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 (thou), 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.
