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 — instruments, churl — and what happens in the verse to wicked devices, poor, 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 66 chapters of Isaiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְכֵלַ֖י כֵּלָ֣יו רָעִ֑ים ה֚וּא זִמּ֣וֹת יָעָ֔ץ לְחַבֵּ֤ל עֲנִיִּים֙ בְּאִמְרֵי־שֶׁ֔קֶר וּבְדַבֵּ֥ר אֶבְי֖וֹן מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ [The instruments also of the churl are evil; he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, and the needy when he speaketh right.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.667/) ## 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. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:ISA:611 # text = וְכֵלַ֖י כֵּלָ֣יו רָעִ֑ים ה֚וּא זִמּ֣וֹת יָעָ֔ץ לְחַבֵּ֤ל עֲנִיִּים֙ בְּאִמְרֵי־שֶׁ֔קֶר וּבְדַבֵּ֥ר אֶבְי֖וֹן מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ # verse = ISA.32.7 1-2 וְכֵלַ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_32:7!1|MId=o230320070011|Strong=2050b 2 כֵלַ֖י כִּילַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 dislocated _ Gloss=a.scoundrel|Ref=ISA_32:7!1|MId=o230320070012|Strong=3596 3-4 כֵּלָ֣יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כֵּלָ֣י כְּלִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 nsubj _ Gloss=weapons|Ref=ISA_32:7!2|MId=o230320070021|Strong=3627 4 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=ISA_32:7!2|MId=o230320070022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 5 רָעִ֑ים רַע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=[are].evil|Ref=ISA_32:7!3|MId=o230320070031|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 6 ה֚וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=ISA_32:7!4|MId=o230320070041|Strong=1931|Type=personal 7 זִמּ֣וֹת זִמָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 8 obj _ Gloss=evil.purposes|Ref=ISA_32:7!5|MId=o230320070051|Strong=2154 8 יָעָ֔ץ יָעַץ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=he.plans|Ref=ISA_32:7!6|MId=o230320070061|Strong=3289|Frame=A0:230320070041;A1:230320070051;|Type=qatal 9-10 לְחַבֵּ֤ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_32:7!7|MId=o230320070071|Strong=3807a 10 חַבֵּ֤ל חָבַל VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 8 advcl _ Gloss=ruin|Ref=ISA_32:7!7|MId=o230320070072|Strong=2254a|Frame=A0:230320070012;A1:230320070091;|Type=infinitive_construct 11 עֲנִיִּים֙ עָנִי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obj _ Gloss=afflicted.[people]|Ref=ISA_32:7!9|MId=o230320070091|Strong=6041|Type=adjective 12-13 בְּאִמְרֵי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=ISA_32:7!10|MId=o230320070101|Strong=0871a 13 אִמְרֵי־ אֵמֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=words|Ref=ISA_32:7!10|MId=o230320070102|Strong=0561 14 שֶׁ֔קֶר שֶׁקֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.falsehood|Ref=ISA_32:7!11|MId=o230320070111|Strong=8267 15-17 וּבְדַבֵּ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_32:7!12|MId=o230320070121|Strong=2050b 16 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=ISA_32:7!12|MId=o230320070122|Strong=0871a 17 דַבֵּ֥ר דָבַר VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 8 conj _ Gloss=speaks|Ref=ISA_32:7!12|MId=o230320070123|Strong=1696a|Frame=A0:230320070131;A1:230320070141;|Type=infinitive_construct 18 אֶבְי֖וֹן אֶבְיוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].needy|Ref=ISA_32:7!13|MId=o230320070131|Strong=0034|Type=adjective 19 מִשְׁפָּֽט מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=justice|Ref=ISA_32:7!14|MId=o230320070141|Strong=4941|SpaceAfter=No 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=ISA_32:7!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָעָץ *he plans* | qatal · qal | הוּא *he* | זִמּוֹת *evil purposes* | | | | חַבֵּל *ruin* | infinitive construct · piel | כֵלַי *a scoundrel* | עֲנִיִּים *afflicted \[people\]* | | | | דַבֵּר *speaks* | infinitive construct · piel | אֶבְיוֹן *\[the\] needy* | מִשְׁפָּֽט *justice* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
