# Job 34:11 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
For the work of a man will He requite unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** God, man · **What happens:** requite, cause, find, accord, work · **To what, where:** work, man

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Job 34:11 · 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, man), 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.
