# Ruth 1:18 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And when she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking unto her.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Ruth · **What happens:** see, be, go, leave off, speak · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ruth 1:18 · 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 (Ruth), 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.
