# Proverbs 24:25 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
But to them that decide justly shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** good blessing · **What happens:** decide, be, come · **To what, where:** delight, nations

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Proverbs 24:25 · 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 (good blessing), 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.
