Jeremiah 17:4 in Hebrew with its depende --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER.17.4/) [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 17](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER/17/) / 17:4 # Jeremiah 17:4 יִרְמְיָהוּ **Who acts:** thou, I, thee, ye, fire · **What happens:** discontinue, give, cause, serve, not know, kindle · **To what, where:** heritage, thee, enemies, land, fire, nostril This is Jeremiah 17:4 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 — thou, I, thee, ye, fire — and what happens in the verse to heritage, thee, enemies, land, fire, nostril, 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. וְשָׁמַטְתָּ֗ה וּבְךָ֙ מִנַּחֲלָֽתְךָ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָתַ֣תִּי לָ֔ךְ וְהַעֲבַדְתִּ֙יךָ֙ אֶת־אֹ֣יְבֶ֔יךָ בָּאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא־יָדָ֑עְתָּ כִּֽי־אֵ֛שׁ קְדַחְתֶּ֥ם בְּאַפִּ֖י עַד־עוֹלָ֥ם תּוּקָֽד׃ס [And thou, even of thyself, shalt discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not; for ye have kindled a fire in My nostril, which shall burn for ever.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.481/) ## 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:413 # text = וְשָׁמַטְתָּ֗ה וּבְךָ֙ מִנַּחֲלָֽתְךָ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָתַ֣תִּי לָ֔ךְ וְהַעֲבַדְתִּ֙יךָ֙ אֶת־אֹ֣יְבֶ֔יךָ בָּאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא־יָדָ֑עְתָּ כִּֽי־אֵ֛שׁ קְדַחְתֶּ֥ם בְּאַפִּ֖י עַד־עוֹלָ֥ם תּוּקָֽד׃ס # verse = JER.17.4 1-2 וְשָׁמַטְתָּ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:4!1|MId=o240170040011|Strong=2050b 2 שָׁמַטְתָּ֗ה שָׁמַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.let.fall|Ref=JER_17:4!1|MId=o240170040012|Strong=8058|Frame=A0:240170010021;|Type=weqatal 3-5 וּבְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:4!2|MId=o240170040021|Strong=2050b 4 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_17:4!2|MId=o240170040022|Strong=0871a 5 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_17:4!2|MId=o240170040023|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 6-8 מִנַּחֲלָֽתְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_17:4!3|MId=o240170040031|Strong=4480 7 נַּחֲלָֽת נַחֲלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=inheritance|Ref=JER_17:4!3|MId=o240170040032|Strong=5159 8 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_17:4!3|MId=o240170040033|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 9 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_17:4!4|MId=o240170040041|Strong=0834|Type=relative 10 נָתַ֣תִּי נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 7 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.gave|Ref=JER_17:4!5|MId=o240170040051|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:240160190011;A1:240170040032;|Type=qatal 11-12 לָ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 ל לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_17:4!6|MId=o240170040061|Strong=3807a 12 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_17:4!6|MId=o240170040062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 13-15 וְהַעֲבַדְתִּ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:4!7|MId=o240170040071|Strong=2050b 14 הַעֲבַדְתִּ֙י עָבַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_17:4!7|MId=o240170040072|Strong=5647|Frame=AA:240160190011;A0:240170040073;A1:240170040091;|Type=weqatal 15 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=will.make.you.serve|Ref=JER_17:4!7|MId=o240170040073|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_17:4!8|MId=o240170040081|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 אֹ֣יְבֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֹ֣יְבֶ֔י אָיַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 14 xcomp _ Gloss=enemies|Ref=JER_17:4!9|MId=o240170040091|Strong=0341|Type=participle_active 18 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_17:4!9|MId=o240170040092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 19-21 בָּאָ֖רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_17:4!10|MId=o240170040101|Strong=0871a 20 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_17:4!10|MId=o240170040101ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 אָ֖רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=JER_17:4!10|MId=o240170040102|Strong=0776 22 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_17:4!11|MId=o240170040111|Strong=0834|Type=relative 23 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 24 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_17:4!12|MId=o240170040121|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 24 יָדָ֑עְתָּ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 21 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.know|Ref=JER_17:4!13|MId=o240170040131|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:240170010021;A1:240170040103;|Type=qatal 25 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 27 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_17:4!14|MId=o240170040141|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 26 אֵ֛שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 27 obj _ Gloss=a.fire|Ref=JER_17:4!15|MId=o240170040151|Strong=0784 27 קְדַחְתֶּ֥ם קָדַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 advcl _ Gloss=you.have.kindled|Ref=JER_17:4!16|MId=o240170040161|Strong=6919|Frame=A0:240170010021;A1:240170040151;|Type=qatal 28-30 בְּאַפִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_17:4!17|MId=o240170040171|Strong=0871a 29 אַפּ אַף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=anger|Ref=JER_17:4!17|MId=o240170040172|Strong=0639 30 ִ֖י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_17:4!17|MId=o240170040173|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 31 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=JER_17:4!18|MId=o240170040181|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 32 עוֹלָ֥ם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 33 obl _ Gloss=perpetuity|Ref=JER_17:4!19|MId=o240170040191|Strong=5769 33 תּוּקָֽד יָקַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=it.will.burn|Ref=JER_17:4!20|MId=o240170040201|Strong=3344|Frame=A1:240170040151;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=JER_17:4!20|SpaceAfter=No 35 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=JER_17:4!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
