# Proverbs 24:11 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Deliver them that are drawn unto death; and those that are ready to be slain wilt thou forbear to rescue?

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** you, those · **What happens:** deliver, draw, be, slay, forbear, rescue · **To what, where:** men

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Proverbs 24:11 · 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 (you, those), 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.
