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 — houses, end, evil, we — and what happens in the verse to LORD, sword, 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. כִּֽחֲשׁוּ֙ בַּיהוָ֔ה וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ לֹא־ה֑וּא וְלֹא־תָב֤וֹא עָלֵ֙ינוּ֙ רָעָ֔ה וְחֶ֥רֶב וְרָעָ֖ב ל֥וֹא נִרְאֶֽה׃ [They have belied the LORD, and said: 'It is not He, neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.148/) ## 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:123 # text = כִּֽחֲשׁוּ֙ בַּיהוָ֔ה וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ לֹא־ה֑וּא וְלֹא־תָב֤וֹא עָלֵ֙ינוּ֙ רָעָ֔ה וְחֶ֥רֶב וְרָעָ֖ב ל֥וֹא נִרְאֶֽה׃ # verse = JER.5.12 1 כִּֽחֲשׁוּ֙ כָּחַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.have.denied|Ref=JER_5:12!1|MId=o240050120011|Strong=3584|Frame=A0:240050110051;240050110072;|Type=qatal 2-3 בַּיהוָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=JER_5:12!2|MId=o240050120021|Strong=0871a 3 יהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 1 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_5:12!2|MId=o240050120022|Strong=3068 4-5 וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_5:12!3|MId=o240050120031|Strong=2050b 5 יֹּאמְר֖וּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=they.have.said|Ref=JER_5:12!3|MId=o240050120032|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240050110051;240050110072;|Type=wayyiqtol 6 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 5 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].not|Ref=JER_5:12!4|MId=o240050120041|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 7 ה֑וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=JER_5:12!5|MId=o240050120051|Strong=1931|Type=personal 8-9 וְלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_5:12!6|MId=o240050120061|Strong=2050b 9 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_5:12!6|MId=o240050120062|Strong=3808|Type=negative 10 תָב֤וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=it.will.come|Ref=JER_5:12!7|MId=o240050120071|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:240050120091;|Type=yiqtol 11-12 עָלֵ֙ינוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 עָלֵ֙י עַל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_5:12!8|MId=o240050120081|Strong=5921 12 נוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=JER_5:12!8|MId=o240050120082|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 13 רָעָ֔ה רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=harm|Ref=JER_5:12!9|MId=o240050120091|Strong=7451b 14-15 וְחֶ֥רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_5:12!10|MId=o240050120101|Strong=2050b 15 חֶ֥רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=sword|Ref=JER_5:12!10|MId=o240050120102|Strong=2719 16-17 וְרָעָ֖ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_5:12!11|MId=o240050120111|Strong=2050b 17 רָעָ֖ב רָעָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 conj _ Gloss=famine|Ref=JER_5:12!11|MId=o240050120112|Strong=7458 18 ל֥וֹא לֹא ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_5:12!12|MId=o240050120121|Strong=3808|Type=negative 19 נִרְאֶֽה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 10 conj _ Gloss=we.will.see|Ref=JER_5:12!13|MId=o240050120131|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:240050110051;240050110072;A1:240050120102;240050120112;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=JER_5:12!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | כִּֽחֲשׁוּ *they have denied* | qatal · piel | | | | | | **not** יֹּאמְרוּ *they have said* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | **not** תָבוֹא *it will come* | yiqtol · qal | רָעָה *harm* | | | | | **not** נִרְאֶֽה *we will see* | yiqtol · qal | | חֶרֶב *sword* + רָעָב *famine* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
