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, persecutors — and what happens in the verse to everlasting confusion, 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. וַֽיהוָ֤ה אוֹתִי֙ כְּגִבּ֣וֹר עָרִ֔יץ עַל־כֵּ֛ן רֹדְפַ֥י יִכָּשְׁל֖וּ וְלֹ֣א יֻכָ֑לוּ בֹּ֤שׁוּ מְאֹד֙ כִּֽי־לֹ֣א הִשְׂכִּ֔ילוּ כְּלִמַּ֥ת עוֹלָ֖ם לֹ֥א תִשָּׁכֵֽחַ׃ [But the LORD is with me as a mighty warrior; therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be greatly ashamed, because they have not prospered, even with an everlasting confusion which shall never be forgotten.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.559/) ## 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:485 # text = וַֽיהוָ֤ה אוֹתִי֙ כְּגִבּ֣וֹר עָרִ֔יץ עַל־כֵּ֛ן רֹדְפַ֥י יִכָּשְׁל֖וּ וְלֹ֣א יֻכָ֑לוּ בֹּ֤שׁוּ מְאֹד֙ כִּֽי־לֹ֣א הִשְׂכִּ֔ילוּ כְּלִמַּ֥ת עוֹלָ֖ם לֹ֥א תִשָּׁכֵֽחַ׃ # verse = JER.20.11 1-2 וַֽיהוָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_20:11!1|MId=o240200110011|Strong=2050b 2 יהוָ֤ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_20:11!1|MId=o240200110012|Strong=3068 3-4 אוֹתִי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=[is].with|Ref=JER_20:11!2|MId=o240200110021|Strong=0854|Type=direct_object_marker 4 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 0 root _ Gloss=me|Ref=JER_20:11!2|MId=o240200110022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5-6 כְּגִבּ֣וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=JER_20:11!3|MId=o240200110031|Strong=3509a 6 גִבּ֣וֹר גִּבּוֹר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=a.warrior|Ref=JER_20:11!3|MId=o240200110032|Strong=1368|Type=adjective 7 עָרִ֔יץ עָרִיץ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 amod _ Gloss=ruthless|Ref=JER_20:11!4|MId=o240200110041|Strong=6184|Type=adjective 8 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=JER_20:11!5|MId=o240200110051|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 9 כֵּ֛ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 4 conj _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_20:11!6|MId=o240200110061|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 10-11 רֹדְפַ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 רֹדְפ רָדַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 12 nsubj _ Gloss=[those|Ref=JER_20:11!7|MId=o240200110071|Strong=7291|Frame=A1:240200110072;|Type=participle_active 11 ַ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=who].pursue.me|Ref=JER_20:11!7|MId=o240200110072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 12 יִכָּשְׁל֖וּ כָּשַׁל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.stumble|Ref=JER_20:11!8|MId=o240200110081|Strong=3782|Frame=A1:240200110071;|Type=yiqtol 13-14 וְלֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_20:11!9|MId=o240200110091|Strong=2050b 14 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_20:11!9|MId=o240200110092|Strong=3808|Type=negative 15 יֻכָ֑לוּ יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=they.will.prevail|Ref=JER_20:11!10|MId=o240200110101|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:240200110071;|Type=yiqtol 16 בֹּ֤שׁוּ בּוֹשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.be.ashamed|Ref=JER_20:11!11|MId=o240200110111|Strong=0954|Frame=A0:240200110071;|Type=qatal 17 מְאֹד֙ מְאֹד ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=exceedingly|Ref=JER_20:11!12|MId=o240200110121|Strong=3966 18 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_20:11!13|MId=o240200110131|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 19 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_20:11!14|MId=o240200110141|Strong=3808|Type=negative 20 הִשְׂכִּ֔ילוּ שָׂכַל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 advcl _ Gloss=they.will.succeed|Ref=JER_20:11!15|MId=o240200110151|Strong=7919|Frame=A0:240200110071;|Type=qatal 21 כְּלִמַּ֥ת כְּלִמָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 nsubj _ Gloss=ignominy|Ref=JER_20:11!16|MId=o240200110161|Strong=3639 22 עוֹלָ֖ם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.perpetuity|Ref=JER_20:11!17|MId=o240200110171|Strong=5769 23 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 24 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_20:11!18|MId=o240200110181|Strong=3808|Type=negative 24 תִשָּׁכֵֽחַ שָׁכַח VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=it.will.be.forgotten|Ref=JER_20:11!19|MId=o240200110191|Strong=7911|Frame=A1:240200110161;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JER_20:11!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | רֹדְפ *\[those* | participle active · qal | | ַי *who\] pursue me* | | | | יִכָּשְׁלוּ *they will stumble* | yiqtol · niphal | | רֹדְפ *\[those* | | | | **not** יֻכָלוּ *they will prevail* | yiqtol · qal | רֹדְפ *\[those* | | | | | בֹּשׁוּ *they will be ashamed* | qatal · qal | רֹדְפ *\[those* | | | | | **not** הִשְׂכִּילוּ *they will succeed* | qatal · hiphil | רֹדְפ *\[those* | | | | | **not** תִשָּׁכֵֽחַ *it will be forgotten* | yiqtol · niphal | | כְּלִמַּת *ignominy* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
