Jeremiah 25:29 in Hebrew with its dependency --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER.25.29/) [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 25](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER/25/) / 25:29 # Jeremiah 25:29 יִרְמְיָהוּ **Who acts:** I, ye, My, LORD · **What happens:** begin, bring, call, be, name, not be · **To what, where:** evil, city, name · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Jeremiah 25:29 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 — I, ye, My, LORD — and what happens in the verse to evil, city, name, 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. כִּי֩ הִנֵּ֨ה בָעִ֜יר אֲשֶׁ֧ר נִֽקְרָא־שְׁמִ֣י עָלֶ֗יהָ אָֽנֹכִי֙ מֵחֵ֣ל לְהָרַ֔ע וְאַתֶּ֖ם הִנָּקֵ֣ה תִנָּק֑וּ לֹ֣א תִנָּק֔וּ כִּ֣י חֶ֗רֶב אֲנִ֤י קֹרֵא֙ עַל־כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָ֔רֶץ נְאֻ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת׃ [For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city whereupon My name is called, and should ye be utterly unpunished?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.700/) [Ye shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.701/) ## 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:615 # text = כִּי֩ הִנֵּ֨ה בָעִ֜יר אֲשֶׁ֧ר נִֽקְרָא־שְׁמִ֣י עָלֶ֗יהָ אָֽנֹכִי֙ מֵחֵ֣ל לְהָרַ֔ע וְאַתֶּ֖ם הִנָּקֵ֣ה תִנָּק֑וּ לֹ֣א תִנָּק֔וּ כִּ֣י חֶ֗רֶב אֲנִ֤י קֹרֵא֙ עַל־כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָ֔רֶץ נְאֻ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת׃ # verse = JER.25.29 1 כִּי֩ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_25:29!1|MId=o240250290011|Strong=3588 2 הִנֵּ֨ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 13 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=JER_25:29!2|MId=o240250290021|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 3-5 בָעִ֜יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בָ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_25:29!3|MId=o240250290031|Strong=0871a 4 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_25:29!3|MId=o240250290031ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 עִ֜יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=city|Ref=JER_25:29!3|MId=o240250290032|Strong=5892 6 אֲשֶׁ֧ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_25:29!4|MId=o240250290041|Strong=0834|Type=relative 7 נִֽקְרָא־ קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.is.called|Ref=JER_25:29!5|MId=o240250290051|Strong=7121|Frame=A1:240250290061;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 שְׁמִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=name|Ref=JER_25:29!6|MId=o240250290061|Strong=8034 9 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_25:29!6|MId=o240250290062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10-11 עָלֶ֗יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 עָלֶ֗י עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_25:29!7|MId=o240250290071|Strong=5921 11 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_25:29!7|MId=o240250290072|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 12 אָֽנֹכִי֙ אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_25:29!8|MId=o240250290081|Strong=0595|Type=personal 13 מֵחֵ֣ל חָלַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[am].beginning|Ref=JER_25:29!9|MId=o240250290091|Strong=2490|Frame=A0:240250290081;|Type=participle_active 14-15 לְהָרַ֔ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_25:29!10|MId=o240250290101|Strong=3807a 15 הָרַ֔ע רָעַע VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 13 xcomp _ Gloss=do.harm|Ref=JER_25:29!10|MId=o240250290102|Strong=7489|Frame=A0:240250170121;|Type=infinitive_construct 16-17 וְאַתֶּ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_25:29!11|MId=o240250290111|Strong=2050b 17 אַתֶּ֖ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_25:29!11|MId=o240250290112|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 18 הִנָּקֵ֣ה נָקָה VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 19 obl:npmod _ Gloss=completely.(exempt.from.punishment)|Ref=JER_25:29!12|MId=o240250290121|Strong=5352|Type=infinitive_absolute 19 תִנָּק֑וּ נָקָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 13 conj _ Gloss=will.you.be.exempt.from.punishment?|Ref=JER_25:29!13|MId=o240250290131|Strong=5352|Frame=A1:240250290112;|Type=yiqtol 20 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_25:29!14|MId=o240250290141|Strong=3808|Type=negative 21 תִנָּק֔וּ נָקָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 13 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.be.exempt.from.punishment|Ref=JER_25:29!15|MId=o240250290151|Strong=5352|Frame=A1:240250260122;240250260182;|Type=yiqtol 22 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_25:29!16|MId=o240250290161|Strong=3588 23 חֶ֗רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 obj _ Gloss=a.sword|Ref=JER_25:29!17|MId=o240250290171|Strong=2719 24 אֲנִ֤י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_25:29!18|MId=o240250290181|Strong=0589|Type=personal 25 קֹרֵא֙ קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 13 advcl _ Gloss=[am].calling|Ref=JER_25:29!19|MId=o240250290191|Strong=7121|Frame=A1:240250290171;A0:240250290181;|Type=participle_active 26 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_25:29!20|MId=o240250290201|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 27 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_25:29!21|MId=o240250290211|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 28 יֹשְׁבֵ֣י יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.inhabitants|Ref=JER_25:29!22|MId=o240250290221|Strong=3427|Type=participle_active 29-30 הָאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=JER_25:29!23|MId=o240250290231|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.earth|Ref=JER_25:29!23|MId=o240250290232|Strong=0776 31 נְאֻ֖ם נְאֻם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 ccomp _ Gloss=the.utterance|Ref=JER_25:29!24|MId=o240250290241|Strong=5002 32 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 31 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=JER_25:29!25|MId=o240250290251|Strong=3068 33 צְבָאֽוֹת צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 32 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=JER_25:29!26|MId=o240250290261|Strong=6635|SpaceAfter=No 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=JER_25:29!26 ``` ##
