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, heart, thou, my — and what happens in the verse to pain, peace, sound, war, 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. מֵעַ֣י ׀ מֵעַ֨י ׀ אוֹחִ֜ילָה קִיר֥וֹת לִבִּ֛י הֹֽמֶה־לִּ֥י לִבִּ֖י לֹ֣א אַחֲרִ֑ישׁ כִּ֣י ק֤וֹל שׁוֹפָר֙ שָׁמַ֣עַתְּ נַפְשִׁ֔י תְּרוּעַ֖ת מִלְחָמָֽה׃ [My bowels, my bowels!](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.117/) [I writhe in pain!](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.118/) [The chambers of my heart!](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.119/) [My heart moaneth within me!](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.120/) [I cannot hold my peace! because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the horn, the alarm of war.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.121/) ## 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.
