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 — kingdom, I, My — and what happens in the verse to evil, sight, kingdom, 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. וְעָשָׂ֤ה הָרַע֙ בְּעֵינַ֔י לְבִלְתִּ֖י שְׁמֹ֣עַ בְּקוֹלִ֑י וְנִֽחַמְתִּי֙ עַל־הַטּוֹבָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָמַ֖רְתִּי לְהֵיטִ֥יב אוֹתֽוֹ׃ס [but if it do evil in My sight, that it hearken not to My voice, then I repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit it.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.516/) ## 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:446 # text = וְעָשָׂ֤ה הָרַע֙ בְּעֵינַ֔י לְבִלְתִּ֖י שְׁמֹ֣עַ בְּקוֹלִ֑י וְנִֽחַמְתִּי֙ עַל־הַטּוֹבָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָמַ֖רְתִּי לְהֵיטִ֥יב אוֹתֽוֹ׃ס # verse = JER.18.10 1-2 וְעָשָׂ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_18:10!1|MId=o240180100011|Strong=2050b 2 עָשָׂ֤ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.do|Ref=JER_18:10!1|MId=o240180100012|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:240180090041;240180090061;A1:240180100032;|Type=weqatal 3-4 הָרַע֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_18:10!3|MId=o240180100031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 רַע֙ רַע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=evil|Ref=JER_18:10!3|MId=o240180100032|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 5-7 בְּעֵינַ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_18:10!4|MId=o240180100041|Strong=0871a 6 עֵינ עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 4 nmod _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=JER_18:10!4|MId=o240180100042|Strong=5869 7 ַ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_18:10!4|MId=o240180100043|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 8-9 לְבִלְתִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_18:10!5|MId=o240180100051|Strong=3807a 9 בִלְתִּ֖י בֵּלֶת ADP _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_18:10!5|MId=o240180100052|Strong=1115 10 שְׁמֹ֣עַ שָׁמַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=to.listen|Ref=JER_18:10!6|MId=o240180100061|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:240180090041;240180090061;|Type=infinitive_construct 11-13 בְּקוֹלִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_18:10!7|MId=o240180100071|Strong=0871a 12 קוֹל קוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=voice|Ref=JER_18:10!7|MId=o240180100072|Strong=6963 13 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_18:10!7|MId=o240180100073|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14-15 וְנִֽחַמְתִּי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_18:10!8|MId=o240180100081|Strong=2050b 15 נִֽחַמְתִּי֙ נָחַם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.will.relent|Ref=JER_18:10!8|MId=o240180100082|Strong=5162|Frame=A0:240180060101;|Type=weqatal 16 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_18:10!9|MId=o240180100091|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 הַטּוֹבָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_18:10!10|MId=o240180100101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 טּוֹבָ֔ה טוֹבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=good|Ref=JER_18:10!10|MId=o240180100102|Strong=2896b|Type=adjective 19 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_18:10!11|MId=o240180100111|Strong=0834|Type=relative 20 אָמַ֖רְתִּי אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 18 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.had.said|Ref=JER_18:10!12|MId=o240180100121|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240180060101;|Type=qatal 21-22 לְהֵיטִ֥יב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_18:10!13|MId=o240180100131|Strong=3807a 22 הֵיטִ֥יב יָטַב VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 20 advcl _ Gloss=do.good.to|Ref=JER_18:10!13|MId=o240180100132|Strong=3190|Frame=AA:240180060101;A0:240180100142;A1:240180100102;|Type=infinitive_construct 23-24 אוֹתֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_18:10!14|MId=o240180100141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 24 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_18:10!14|MId=o240180100142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JER_18:10!14|SpaceAfter=No 26 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JER_18:10!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עָשָׂה *it will do* | weqatal · qal | | רַע *evil* | | | | שְׁמֹעַ *to listen* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | נִֽחַמְתִּי *I will relent* | weqatal · niphal | | | | | | אָמַרְתִּי *I had said* | qatal · qal | | | | | | הֵיטִיב *do good to* | infinitive construct · hiphil | ֽוֹ *it* | טּוֹבָה *good* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
