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 — evil, thou, calamity, ruin — and what happens in the verse to thee, evil, 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. וּבָ֧א עָלַ֣יִךְ רָעָ֗ה לֹ֤א תֵדְעִי֙ שַׁחְרָ֔הּ וְתִפֹּ֤ל עָלַ֙יִךְ֙ הֹוָ֔ה לֹ֥א תוּכְלִ֖י כַּפְּרָ֑הּ וְתָבֹ֨א עָלַ֧יִךְ פִּתְאֹ֛ם שׁוֹאָ֖ה לֹ֥א תֵדָֽעִי׃ [Yet shall evil came upon thee; thou shalt not know how to charm it away; and calamity shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it away; and ruin shall come upon thee suddenly, before thou knowest.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1053/) ## 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:955 # text = וּבָ֧א עָלַ֣יִךְ רָעָ֗ה לֹ֤א תֵדְעִי֙ שַׁחְרָ֔הּ וְתִפֹּ֤ל עָלַ֙יִךְ֙ הֹוָ֔ה לֹ֥א תוּכְלִ֖י כַּפְּרָ֑הּ וְתָבֹ֨א עָלַ֧יִךְ פִּתְאֹ֛ם שׁוֹאָ֖ה לֹ֥א תֵדָֽעִי׃ # verse = ISA.47.11 1-2 וּבָ֧א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_47:11!1|MId=o230470110011|Strong=2050b 2 בָ֧א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.come|Ref=ISA_47:11!1|MId=o230470110012|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:230470110031;|Type=qatal 3-4 עָלַ֣יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 עָלַ֣י עַל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_47:11!2|MId=o230470110021|Strong=5921 4 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_47:11!2|MId=o230470110022|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 5 רָעָ֗ה רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=calamity|Ref=ISA_47:11!3|MId=o230470110031|Strong=7451b 6 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=[which].not|Ref=ISA_47:11!4|MId=o230470110041|Strong=3808|Type=negative 7 תֵדְעִי֙ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.know|Ref=ISA_47:11!5|MId=o230470110051|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:230470080041;A1:230470110061;|Type=yiqtol 8-9 שַׁחְרָ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 שַׁחְר שַׁחַר VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 7 obj _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_47:11!6|MId=o230470110061|Strong=7836a|Frame=A0:230470080041;A1:230470110062;|Type=infinitive_construct 9 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=charm.it.away|Ref=ISA_47:11!6|MId=o230470110062|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 10-11 וְתִפֹּ֤ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_47:11!7|MId=o230470110071|Strong=2050b 11 תִפֹּ֤ל נָפַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.will.fall|Ref=ISA_47:11!7|MId=o230470110072|Strong=5307|Frame=A0:230470110091;|Type=yiqtol 12-13 עָלַ֙יִךְ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 עָלַ֙י עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_47:11!8|MId=o230470110081|Strong=5921 13 ִךְ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_47:11!8|MId=o230470110082|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 14 הֹוָ֔ה הֹוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=disaster|Ref=ISA_47:11!9|MId=o230470110091|Strong=1943 15 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=[which].not|Ref=ISA_47:11!10|MId=o230470110101|Strong=3808|Type=negative 16 תוּכְלִ֖י יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.be.able|Ref=ISA_47:11!11|MId=o230470110111|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:230470080041;A1:230470110121;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 כַּפְּרָ֑הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 כַּפְּר כִּפֶּר VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 16 ccomp _ Gloss=to|Ref=ISA_47:11!12|MId=o230470110121|Strong=3722|Frame=A0:230470080041;A1:230470110122;|Type=infinitive_construct 18 ָ֑הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=cover.it|Ref=ISA_47:11!12|MId=o230470110122|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 19-20 וְתָבֹ֨א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_47:11!13|MId=o230470110131|Strong=2050b 20 תָבֹ֨א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.will.come|Ref=ISA_47:11!13|MId=o230470110132|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:230470110161;|Type=yiqtol 21-22 עָלַ֧יִךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 עָלַ֧י עַל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_47:11!14|MId=o230470110141|Strong=5921 22 ִךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=ISA_47:11!14|MId=o230470110142|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 23 פִּתְאֹ֛ם פִּתְאֹם ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=suddenly|Ref=ISA_47:11!15|MId=o230470110151|Strong=6597 24 שׁוֹאָ֖ה שׁוֹאָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 nsubj _ Gloss=devastation|Ref=ISA_47:11!16|MId=o230470110161|Strong=7722a 25 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 26 advmod _ Gloss=[which].not|Ref=ISA_47:11!17|MId=o230470110171|Strong=3808|Type=negative 26 תֵדָֽעִי יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.know|Ref=ISA_47:11!18|MId=o230470110181|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:230470080041;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=ISA_47:11!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
