# Proverbs 27:25 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
When the hay is mown, and the tender grass showeth itself, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered in;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** tender grass · **What happens:** mown, show, gather in · **To what, where:** hay, grass, herbs

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Proverbs 27:25 · 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 (tender grass), 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.
