Jeremiah 17:5 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonathan, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER.17.5/) [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/) / 17:5 # Jeremiah 17:5 יִרְמְיָהוּ **Who acts:** LORD, man, heart · **What happens:** say, be, trust, make, depart · **To what, where:** flesh · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Jeremiah 17:5 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 — LORD, man, heart — and what happens in the verse to flesh, 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. כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה אָר֤וּר הַגֶּ֙בֶר֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִבְטַ֣ח בָּֽאָדָ֔ם וְשָׂ֥ם בָּשָׂ֖ר זְרֹע֑וֹ וּמִן־יְהוָ֖ה יָס֥וּר לִבּֽוֹ׃ [Thus saith the LORD: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.482/) ## 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:414 # text = כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה אָר֤וּר הַגֶּ֙בֶר֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִבְטַ֣ח בָּֽאָדָ֔ם וְשָׂ֥ם בָּשָׂ֖ר זְרֹע֑וֹ וּמִן־יְהוָ֖ה יָס֥וּר לִבּֽוֹ׃ # verse = JER.17.5 1 כֹּ֣ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=JER_17:5!1|MId=o240170050011|Strong=3541 2 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 1 punct _ Ref=JER_17:5!1 3 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=JER_17:5!2|MId=o240170050021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240170050031;|Type=qatal 4 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_17:5!3|MId=o240170050031|Strong=3068 5 אָר֤וּר אָרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 3 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].cursed|Ref=JER_17:5!4|MId=o240170050041|Strong=0779|Frame=A1:240170050052;|Type=participle_passive 6-7 הַגֶּ֙בֶר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_17:5!5|MId=o240170050051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 גֶּ֙בֶר֙ גֶּבֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=man|Ref=JER_17:5!5|MId=o240170050052|Strong=1397 8 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=JER_17:5!6|MId=o240170050061|Strong=0834|Type=relative 9 יִבְטַ֣ח בָּטַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.trusts|Ref=JER_17:5!7|MId=o240170050071|Strong=0982|Frame=A0:240170050052;|Type=yiqtol 10-12 בָּֽאָדָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 בָּֽ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_17:5!8|MId=o240170050081|Strong=0871a 11 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_17:5!8|MId=o240170050081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 אָדָ֔ם אָדָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=humankind|Ref=JER_17:5!8|MId=o240170050082|Strong=0120 13-14 וְשָׂ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:5!9|MId=o240170050091|Strong=2050b 14 שָׂ֥ם שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=he.makes|Ref=JER_17:5!9|MId=o240170050092|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:240170050052;A1:240170050101;|Type=weqatal 15 בָּשָׂ֖ר בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=flesh|Ref=JER_17:5!10|MId=o240170050101|Strong=1320 16-17 זְרֹע֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 זְרֹע זְרוֹעַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 xcomp _ Gloss=strength|Ref=JER_17:5!11|MId=o240170050111|Strong=2220 17 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JER_17:5!11|MId=o240170050112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18-19 וּמִן־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_17:5!12|MId=o240170050121|Strong=2050b 19 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_17:5!12|MId=o240170050122|Strong=4480 20 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 21 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_17:5!13|MId=o240170050131|Strong=3068 21 יָס֥וּר סוּר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=it.turns.aside|Ref=JER_17:5!14|MId=o240170050141|Strong=5493|Frame=A0:240170050151;|Type=yiqtol 22-23 לִבּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לִבּ לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=heart|Ref=JER_17:5!15|MId=o240170050151|Strong=3820 23 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JER_17:5!15|MId=o240170050152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JER_17:5!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | אָרוּר *\[is\] cursed* | participle passive · qal | | גֶּבֶר *man* | | | | יִבְטַח *he trusts* | yiqtol · qal | גֶּבֶר *man* | | | | | שָׂם *he makes* | weqatal · qal | גֶּבֶר *man* | בָּשָׂר *flesh* | | | | יָסוּר *it turns aside* | yiqtol · qal | לִבּ *heart* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
