Jeremiah 2:26 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.2.26/) [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 2](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER/2/) / 2:26 # Jeremiah 2:26 יִרְמְיָהוּ **Who acts:** thief, house · **What happens:** be, find · **To what, where:** hope This is Jeremiah 2:26 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 — thief, house — and what happens in the verse to hope, 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. כְּבֹ֤שֶׁת גַּנָּב֙ כִּ֣י יִמָּצֵ֔א כֵּ֥ן הֹבִ֖ישׁוּ בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל הֵ֤מָּה מַלְכֵיהֶם֙ שָֽׂרֵיהֶ֔ם וְכֹהֲנֵיהֶ֖ם וּנְבִיאֵיהֶֽם׃ [As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.50/) ## 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:44 # text = כְּבֹ֤שֶׁת גַּנָּב֙ כִּ֣י יִמָּצֵ֔א כֵּ֥ן הֹבִ֖ישׁוּ בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל הֵ֤מָּה מַלְכֵיהֶם֙ שָֽׂרֵיהֶ֔ם וְכֹהֲנֵיהֶ֖ם וּנְבִיאֵיהֶֽם׃ # verse = JER.2.26 1-2 כְּבֹ֤שֶׁת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=like.[the]|Ref=JER_2:26!1|MId=o240020260011|Strong=3509a 2 בֹ֤שֶׁת בֹּשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=shame|Ref=JER_2:26!1|MId=o240020260012|Strong=1322 3 גַּנָּב֙ גַּנָּב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.thief|Ref=JER_2:26!2|MId=o240020260021|Strong=1590 4 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_2:26!3|MId=o240020260031|Strong=3588 5 יִמָּצֵ֔א מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 acl _ Gloss=he.is.found|Ref=JER_2:26!4|MId=o240020260041|Strong=4672|Frame=A1:240020260021;|Type=yiqtol 6 כֵּ֥ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=so|Ref=JER_2:26!5|MId=o240020260051|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 7 הֹבִ֖ישׁוּ יבשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.have.been.put.to.shame|Ref=JER_2:26!6|MId=o240020260061|Strong=0954|Frame=A0:240020260071;240020260101;240020260111;240020260122;240020260132;|Type=qatal 8 בֵּ֣ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=JER_2:26!7|MId=o240020260071|Strong=1004 9 יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=JER_2:26!8|MId=o240020260081|Strong=3478 10 הֵ֤מָּה הֵמָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=they|Ref=JER_2:26!9|MId=o240020260091|Strong=1992|Type=personal 11-12 מַלְכֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מַלְכֵי מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 conj _ Gloss=kings|Ref=JER_2:26!10|MId=o240020260101|Strong=4428 12 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_2:26!10|MId=o240020260102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 13-14 שָֽׂרֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 שָֽׂרֵי שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 conj _ Gloss=officials|Ref=JER_2:26!11|MId=o240020260111|Strong=8269 14 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_2:26!11|MId=o240020260112|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15-17 וְכֹהֲנֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_2:26!12|MId=o240020260121|Strong=2050b 16 כֹהֲנֵי כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 conj _ Gloss=priests|Ref=JER_2:26!12|MId=o240020260122|Strong=3548 17 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_2:26!12|MId=o240020260123|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18-20 וּנְבִיאֵיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_2:26!13|MId=o240020260131|Strong=2050b 19 נְבִיאֵי נָבִיא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 conj _ Gloss=prophets|Ref=JER_2:26!13|MId=o240020260132|Strong=5030 20 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_2:26!13|MId=o240020260133|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=JER_2:26!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִמָּצֵא *he is found* | yiqtol · niphal | | גַּנָּב *of a thief* | | | | הֹבִישׁוּ *they have been put to shame* | qatal · hiphil | בֵּית *the house* + מַלְכֵי *kings* + שָֽׂרֵי *officials* + כֹהֲנֵי *priests* + נְבִיאֵי *prophets* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
