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 — lips, whosoever — and what happens in the verse to way, goings, peace, 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. דֶּ֤רֶךְ שָׁלוֹם֙ לֹ֣א יָדָ֔עוּ וְאֵ֥ין מִשְׁפָּ֖ט בְּמַעְגְּלוֹתָ֑ם נְתִיבֽוֹתֵיהֶם֙ עִקְּשׁ֣וּ לָהֶ֔ם כֹּ֚ל דֹּרֵ֣ךְ בָּ֔הּ לֹ֥א יָדַ֖ע שָׁלֽוֹם׃ [The way of peace they know not, and there is no right in their goings; they have made them crooked paths, whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ISA.1281/) ## 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:1153 # text = דֶּ֤רֶךְ שָׁלוֹם֙ לֹ֣א יָדָ֔עוּ וְאֵ֥ין מִשְׁפָּ֖ט בְּמַעְגְּלוֹתָ֑ם נְתִיבֽוֹתֵיהֶם֙ עִקְּשׁ֣וּ לָהֶ֔ם כֹּ֚ל דֹּרֵ֣ךְ בָּ֔הּ לֹ֥א יָדַ֖ע שָׁלֽוֹם׃ # verse = ISA.59.8 1 דֶּ֤רֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=a.way|Ref=ISA_59:8!1|MId=o230590080011|Strong=1870 2 שָׁלוֹם֙ שָׁלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.peace|Ref=ISA_59:8!2|MId=o230590080021|Strong=7965 3 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_59:8!3|MId=o230590080031|Strong=3808|Type=negative 4 יָדָ֔עוּ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.know|Ref=ISA_59:8!4|MId=o230590080041|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:230580010113;A1:230590080011;|Type=qatal 5-6 וְאֵ֥ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=ISA_59:8!5|MId=o230590080051|Strong=2050b 6 אֵ֥ין אַיִן ADV _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=there.[is].not|Ref=ISA_59:8!5|MId=o230590080052|Strong=0369|Type=negative 7 מִשְׁפָּ֖ט מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=justice|Ref=ISA_59:8!6|MId=o230590080061|Strong=4941 8-10 בְּמַעְגְּלוֹתָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_59:8!7|MId=o230590080071|Strong=0871a 9 מַעְגְּלוֹת מַעְגָּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=tracks|Ref=ISA_59:8!7|MId=o230590080072|Strong=4570a 10 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=ISA_59:8!7|MId=o230590080073|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11-12 נְתִיבֽוֹתֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 נְתִיבֽוֹתֵי נְתִיבָה NOUN _ Number=Plur 13 obj _ Gloss=paths|Ref=ISA_59:8!8|MId=o230590080081|Strong=5410 12 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=ISA_59:8!8|MId=o230590080082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 13 עִקְּשׁ֣וּ עָקַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they.have.made.crooked|Ref=ISA_59:8!9|MId=o230590080091|Strong=6140|Frame=A0:230580010113;A1:230590080081;|Type=qatal 14-15 לָהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 ל לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(for|Ref=ISA_59:8!10|MId=o230590080101|Strong=3807a 15 ָהֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=themselves|Ref=ISA_59:8!10|MId=o230590080102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 16 כֹּ֚ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=any|Ref=ISA_59:8!11|MId=o230590080111|Strong=3605 17 דֹּרֵ֣ךְ דָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=[one.who].treads|Ref=ISA_59:8!12|MId=o230590080121|Strong=1869|Type=participle_active 18-19 בָּ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=ISA_59:8!13|MId=o230590080131|Strong=0871a 19 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=ISA_59:8!13|MId=o230590080132|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 20 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=ISA_59:8!14|MId=o230590080141|Strong=3808|Type=negative 21 יָדַ֖ע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=he.knows|Ref=ISA_59:8!15|MId=o230590080151|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:230590080121;A1:230590080161;|Type=qatal 22 שָׁלֽוֹם שָׁלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=peace|Ref=ISA_59:8!16|MId=o230590080161|Strong=7965|SpaceAfter=No 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=ISA_59:8!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יָדָעוּ *they know* | qatal · qal | | דֶּרֶךְ *a way* | | | | עִקְּשׁוּ *they have made crooked* | qatal · piel | | נְתִיבֽוֹתֵי *paths* | | | | **not** יָדַע *he knows* | qatal · qal | דֹּרֵךְ *\[one who\] treads* | שָׁלֽוֹם *peace* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
