Jeremiah 15:20 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonatha --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER.15.20/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Nevi'im](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/) / [Jeremiah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER/) / [chapter 15](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER/15/) / 15:20 # Jeremiah 15:20 יִרְמְיָהוּ **Who acts:** I, people, LORD · **What happens:** make, fight, not prevail, be, save, deliver · **To what, where:** thee · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Jeremiah 15:20 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 — I, people, LORD — and what happens in the verse to thee, 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 52 chapters of Jeremiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וּנְתַתִּ֜יךָ לָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֗ה לְחוֹמַ֤ת נְחֹ֙שֶׁת֙ בְּצוּרָ֔ה וְנִלְחֲמ֥וּ אֵלֶ֖יךָ וְלֹא־י֣וּכְלוּ לָ֑ךְ כִּֽי־אִתְּךָ֥ אֲנִ֛י לְהוֹשִֽׁיעֲךָ֥ וּלְהַצִּילֶ֖ךָ נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃ [And I will make thee unto this people a fortified brazen wall; and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.455/) ## 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:JER:387 # text = וּנְתַתִּ֜יךָ לָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֗ה לְחוֹמַ֤ת נְחֹ֙שֶׁת֙ בְּצוּרָ֔ה וְנִלְחֲמ֥וּ אֵלֶ֖יךָ וְלֹא־י֣וּכְלוּ לָ֑ךְ כִּֽי־אִתְּךָ֥ אֲנִ֛י לְהוֹשִֽׁיעֲךָ֥ וּלְהַצִּילֶ֖ךָ נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = JER.15.20 1-3 וּנְתַתִּ֜יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_15:20!1|MId=o240150200011|Strong=2050b 2 נְתַתִּ֜י נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_15:20!1|MId=o240150200012|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:240150190041;A1:240150200013;|Type=weqatal 3 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=will.make.you|Ref=JER_15:20!1|MId=o240150200013|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 4-6 לָעָ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_15:20!2|MId=o240150200021|Strong=3807a 5 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_15:20!2|MId=o240150200021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 עָ֣ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=JER_15:20!2|MId=o240150200022|Strong=5971 7-8 הַזֶּ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_15:20!3|MId=o240150200031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 זֶּ֗ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 6 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JER_15:20!3|MId=o240150200032|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 9-10 לְחוֹמַ֤ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=JER_15:20!4|MId=o240150200041|Strong=3807a 10 חוֹמַ֤ת חוֹמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=a.wall|Ref=JER_15:20!4|MId=o240150200042|Strong=2346 11 נְחֹ֙שֶׁת֙ נְחֹשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.bronze|Ref=JER_15:20!5|MId=o240150200051|Strong=5178 12 בְּצוּרָ֔ה בָּצוּר ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 amod _ Gloss=fortified|Ref=JER_15:20!6|MId=o240150200061|Strong=1208|Type=adjective 13-14 וְנִלְחֲמ֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_15:20!7|MId=o240150200071|Strong=2050b 14 נִלְחֲמ֥וּ לָחַם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=people.will.fight|Ref=JER_15:20!7|MId=o240150200072|Strong=3898|Frame=A0:240150200023;|Type=weqatal 15-16 אֵלֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֵלֶ֖י אֶל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=against|Ref=JER_15:20!8|MId=o240150200081|Strong=0413 16 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_15:20!8|MId=o240150200082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 17-18 וְלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_15:20!9|MId=o240150200091|Strong=2050b 18 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_15:20!9|MId=o240150200092|Strong=3808|Type=negative 19 י֣וּכְלוּ יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 14 conj _ Gloss=they.will.prevail|Ref=JER_15:20!10|MId=o240150200101|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:240150200023;|Type=yiqtol 20-21 לָ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ל לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_15:20!11|MId=o240150200111|Strong=3807a 21 ָ֑ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_15:20!11|MId=o240150200112|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 22 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_15:20!12|MId=o240150200121|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 23-24 אִתְּךָ֥ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אִתּ אֵת ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=[will|Ref=JER_15:20!13|MId=o240150200131|Strong=0854 24 ְךָ֥ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 advcl _ Gloss=be].with.you|Ref=JER_15:20!13|MId=o240150200132|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 25 אֲנִ֛י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 24 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_15:20!14|MId=o240150200141|Strong=0589|Type=personal 26-28 לְהוֹשִֽׁיעֲךָ֥ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_15:20!15|MId=o240150200151|Strong=3807a 27 הוֹשִֽׁיע יָשַׁע VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 24 advcl _ Gloss=save|Ref=JER_15:20!15|MId=o240150200152|Strong=3467|Frame=AA:240150190041;A0:240150200153;|Type=infinitive_construct 28 ֲךָ֥ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 27 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_15:20!15|MId=o240150200153|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 29-32 וּלְהַצִּילֶ֖ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_15:20!16|MId=o240150200161|Strong=2050b 30 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_15:20!16|MId=o240150200162|Strong=3807a 31 הַצִּיל נָצַל VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 27 conj _ Gloss=deliver|Ref=JER_15:20!16|MId=o240150200163|Strong=5337|Frame=AA:240150190041;A0:240150200164;|Type=infinitive_construct 32 ֶ֖ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 31 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_15:20!16|MId=o240150200164|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 33 נְאֻם־ נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=JER_15:20!17|MId=o240150200171|Strong=5002|SpaceAfter=No 34 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 33 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_15:20!18|MId=o240150200181|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=JER_15:20!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
