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 — you, reins, me — and what happens in the verse to reins, me, 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. יֵבֹ֤שׁוּ רֹדְפַי֙ וְאַל־אֵבֹ֣שָׁה אָ֔נִי יֵחַ֣תּוּ הֵ֔מָּה וְאַל־אֵחַ֖תָּה אָ֑נִי הָבִ֤יא עֲלֵיהֶם֙ י֣וֹם רָעָ֔ה וּמִשְׁנֶ֥ה שִׁבָּר֖וֹן שָׁבְרֵֽם׃ס [Let them be ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be ashamed; Let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed; Bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.496/) ## 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:427 # text = יֵבֹ֤שׁוּ רֹדְפַי֙ וְאַל־אֵבֹ֣שָׁה אָ֔נִי יֵחַ֣תּוּ הֵ֔מָּה וְאַל־אֵחַ֖תָּה אָ֑נִי הָבִ֤יא עֲלֵיהֶם֙ י֣וֹם רָעָ֔ה וּמִשְׁנֶ֥ה שִׁבָּר֖וֹן שָׁבְרֵֽם׃ס # verse = JER.17.18 1 יֵבֹ֤שׁוּ בּוֹשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=let.them.be.put.to.shame|Ref=JER_17:18!1|MId=o240170180011|Strong=0954|Frame=A0:240170180021;|Type=jussive 2-3 רֹדְפַי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 רֹדְפ רָדַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 1 nsubj _ Gloss=[those|Ref=JER_17:18!2|MId=o240170180021|Strong=7291|Frame=A1:240170180022;|Type=participle_active 3 ַי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=who].pursue.me|Ref=JER_17:18!2|MId=o240170180022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 4-5 וְאַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:18!3|MId=o240170180031|Strong=2050b 5 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_17:18!3|MId=o240170180032|Strong=0408|Type=negative 6 אֵבֹ֣שָׁה בּוֹשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 conj _ Gloss=let.me.be.put.to.shame|Ref=JER_17:18!4|MId=o240170180041|Strong=0954|Frame=A0:240170180051;|Type=cohortative 7 אָ֔נִי אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_17:18!5|MId=o240170180051|Strong=0589|Type=personal 8 יֵחַ֣תּוּ חָתַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=let.them.be.dismayed|Ref=JER_17:18!6|MId=o240170180061|Strong=2865|Frame=A0:240170180071;|Type=jussive 9 הֵ֔מָּה הֵמָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=JER_17:18!7|MId=o240170180071|Strong=1992|Type=personal 10-11 וְאַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:18!8|MId=o240170180081|Strong=2050b 11 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_17:18!8|MId=o240170180082|Strong=0408|Type=negative 12 אֵחַ֖תָּה חָתַת VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 8 conj _ Gloss=let.me.be.dismayed|Ref=JER_17:18!9|MId=o240170180091|Strong=2865|Frame=A0:240170180101;|Type=cohortative 13 אָ֑נִי אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_17:18!10|MId=o240170180101|Strong=0589|Type=personal 14 הָבִ֤יא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 parataxis _ Gloss=bring|Ref=JER_17:18!11|MId=o240170180111|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:240170140021;A0:240170180131;|Type=imperative 15-16 עֲלֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_17:18!12|MId=o240170180121|Strong=5921 16 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JER_17:18!12|MId=o240170180122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 17 י֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=a.day|Ref=JER_17:18!13|MId=o240170180131|Strong=3117 18 רָעָ֔ה רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.calamity|Ref=JER_17:18!14|MId=o240170180141|Strong=7451b 19-20 וּמִשְׁנֶ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:18!15|MId=o240170180151|Strong=2050b 20 מִשְׁנֶ֥ה מִשְׁנֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=double|Ref=JER_17:18!15|MId=o240170180152|Strong=4932 21 שִׁבָּר֖וֹן שִׁבָּרוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 appos _ Gloss=breaking|Ref=JER_17:18!16|MId=o240170180161|Strong=7670 22-23 שָׁבְרֵֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 שָׁבְר שָׁבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 14 conj _ Gloss=break|Ref=JER_17:18!17|MId=o240170180171|Strong=7665|Frame=A0:240170140021;A1:240170180172;|Type=imperative 23 ֵֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=JER_17:18!17|MId=o240170180172|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JER_17:18!17|SpaceAfter=No 25 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JER_17:18!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֵבֹשׁוּ *let them be put to shame* | jussive · qal | רֹדְפ *\[those* | | | | | רֹדְפ *\[those* | participle active · qal | | ַי *who\] pursue me* | | | | **not** אֵבֹשָׁה *let me be put to shame* | cohortative · qal | אָנִי *I* | | | | | יֵחַתּוּ *let them be dismayed* | jussive · niphal | הֵמָּה *they* | | | | | **not** אֵחַתָּה *let me be dismayed* | cohortative · niphal | אָנִי *I* | | | | | הָבִיא *bring* | imperative · hiphil | יוֹם *a day* | | | | | שָׁבְר *break* | imperative · qal | | ֵֽם *them* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
