title: Jeremiah 49:19 — Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan… · Hebrew, tree and pragmatics
description: Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make him run away from it, and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it; for who is like Me? and who will appoint Me a time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before Me?

# Jeremiah 49:19 יִרְמְיָהוּ

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** LORD, I, shepherd · **What happens:** come up, make, run away, choose, appoint, be · **To what, where:** thickets, LORD, habitation, whoso, Me, shepherd

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Jeremiah 49:19 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 — LORD, I, shepherd — and what happens in the verse to thickets, LORD, habitation, whoso, Me, shepherd, 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.

<!-- .note -->
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.
