The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — Thou, We — and what happens in the verse to places, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 3 chapters of Habakkuk on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. הֲל֧וֹא אַתָּ֣ה מִקֶּ֗דֶם יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהַ֛י קְדֹשִׁ֖י לֹ֣א נָמ֑וּת יְהוָה֙ לְמִשְׁפָּ֣ט שַׂמְתּ֔וֹ וְצ֖וּר לְהוֹכִ֥יחַ יְסַדְתּֽוֹ׃ [Art not Thou from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/HAB.13/) [We shall not die.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/HAB.14/) [O LORD, Thou hast ordained them for judgment, and Thou, O Rock, hast established them for correction.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/HAB.15/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one.
