# Job 23:10 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
For He knoweth the way that I take; when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** hand, I · **What happens:** know, take, try, come · **To what, where:** way, me

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Job 23:10 · 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 (hand, I), 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.
