# Isaiah 57:15 יְשַׁעְיָהוּ

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** High One, name, I · **What happens:** say, inhabit, be, dwell, revive · **To what, where:** High One, eternity, high place, spirit, heart · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 57:15 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — High One, name, I — and what happens in the verse to High One, eternity, high place, spirit, heart, 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.

[For thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1250/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
