# Proverbs 19:11 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
It is the discretion of a man to be slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Luxury · **What happens:** be, pass · **To what, where:** discretion, glory, transgression

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Proverbs 19:11 · 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 (Luxury), 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.
