# Job 27:2 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath dealt bitterly with me;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** God, Almighty · **What happens:** live, take away, deal · **To what, where:** right

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Job 27:2 · 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 (God, Almighty), 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.
