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 — cities, I — and what happens in the verse to word, man, evil way, Me, evil, 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. אוּלַ֣י יִשְׁמְע֔וּ וְיָשֻׁ֕בוּ אִ֖ישׁ מִדַּרְכּ֣וֹ הָרָעָ֑ה וְנִחַמְתִּ֣י אֶל־הָרָעָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר אָנֹכִ֤י חֹשֵׁב֙ לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת לָהֶ֔ם מִפְּנֵ֖י רֹ֥עַ מַעַלְלֵיהֶֽם׃ [It may be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way; that I may repent Me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.714/) ## 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:627 # text = אוּלַ֣י יִשְׁמְע֔וּ וְיָשֻׁ֕בוּ אִ֖ישׁ מִדַּרְכּ֣וֹ הָרָעָ֑ה וְנִחַמְתִּ֣י אֶל־הָרָעָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר אָנֹכִ֤י חֹשֵׁב֙ לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת לָהֶ֔ם מִפְּנֵ֖י רֹ֥עַ מַעַלְלֵיהֶֽם׃ # verse = JER.26.3 1 אוּלַ֣י אוּלַי ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=perhaps|Ref=JER_26:3!1|MId=o240260030011|Strong=0194 2 יִשְׁמְע֔וּ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 12 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.listen|Ref=JER_26:3!2|MId=o240260030021|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:240260020111;|Type=yiqtol 3-4 וְיָשֻׁ֕בוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_26:3!3|MId=o240260030031|Strong=2050b 4 יָשֻׁ֕בוּ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.turn.back|Ref=JER_26:3!3|MId=o240260030032|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:240260020111;|Type=yiqtol 5 אִ֖ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=everyone|Ref=JER_26:3!4|MId=o240260030041|Strong=0376 6-8 מִדַּרְכּ֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_26:3!5|MId=o240260030051|Strong=4480 7 דַּרְכּ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 obl _ Gloss=way|Ref=JER_26:3!5|MId=o240260030052|Strong=1870 8 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JER_26:3!5|MId=o240260030053|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9-10 הָרָעָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_26:3!6|MId=o240260030061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 רָעָ֑ה רַע ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 amod _ Gloss=evil|Ref=JER_26:3!6|MId=o240260030062|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 11-12 וְנִחַמְתִּ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_26:3!7|MId=o240260030071|Strong=2050b 12 נִחַמְתִּ֣י נָחַם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.will.repent|Ref=JER_26:3!7|MId=o240260030072|Strong=5162|Frame=A0:240260020031;|Type=weqatal 13 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=concerning|Ref=JER_26:3!8|MId=o240260030081|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 14-15 הָרָעָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_26:3!9|MId=o240260030091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 רָעָ֗ה רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=calamity|Ref=JER_26:3!9|MId=o240260030092|Strong=7451b 16 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_26:3!10|MId=o240260030101|Strong=0834|Type=relative 17 אָנֹכִ֤י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_26:3!11|MId=o240260030111|Strong=0595|Type=personal 18 חֹשֵׁב֙ חָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 15 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[am].planning|Ref=JER_26:3!12|MId=o240260030121|Strong=2803|Frame=A0:240260030111;|Type=participle_active 19-20 לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_26:3!13|MId=o240260030131|Strong=3807a 20 עֲשׂ֣וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 18 advcl _ Gloss=do|Ref=JER_26:3!13|MId=o240260030132|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:240260020031;A1:240260030092;|Type=infinitive_construct 21-22 לָהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 ל לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_26:3!14|MId=o240260030141|Strong=3807a 22 ָהֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JER_26:3!14|MId=o240260030142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 23-24 מִפְּנֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=because|Ref=JER_26:3!15|MId=o240260030151|Strong=4480 24 פְּנֵ֖י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 20 obl _ Gloss=of|Ref=JER_26:3!15|MId=o240260030152|Strong=6440 25 רֹ֥עַ רֹעַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.wickedness|Ref=JER_26:3!16|MId=o240260030161|Strong=7455 26-27 מַעַלְלֵיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 מַעַלְלֵי מַעֲלָל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=their.deeds|Ref=JER_26:3!17|MId=o240260030171|Strong=4611 27 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_26:3!17|MId=o240260030172|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=JER_26:3!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִשְׁמְעוּ *they will listen* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | יָשֻׁבוּ *they will turn back* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | נִחַמְתִּי *I will repent* | weqatal · niphal | | | | | | חֹשֵׁב *\[am\] planning* | participle active · qal | אָנֹכִי *I* | | | | | עֲשׂוֹת *do* | infinitive construct · qal | | רָעָה *calamity* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
