# Proverbs 1:24 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Because I have called, and ye refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man attended,

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I, ye, man · **What happens:** call, refuse, stretch out, attend · **To what, where:** hand · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Proverbs 1:24 · 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 (I, ye, 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.
