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, ye, I, word, My — and what happens in the verse to word, words, mouth, people, 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. לָכֵ֗ן כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י צְבָא֔וֹת יַ֚עַן דַּבֶּרְכֶ֔ם אֶת־הַדָּבָ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה הִנְנִ֣י נֹתֵן֩ דְּבָרַ֨י בְּפִ֜יךָ לְאֵ֗שׁ וְהָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֛ה עֵצִ֖ים וַאֲכָלָֽתַם׃ [Wherefore thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts: Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make My words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.150/) ## 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:125 # text = לָכֵ֗ן כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י צְבָא֔וֹת יַ֚עַן דַּבֶּרְכֶ֔ם אֶת־הַדָּבָ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה הִנְנִ֣י נֹתֵן֩ דְּבָרַ֨י בְּפִ֜יךָ לְאֵ֗שׁ וְהָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֛ה עֵצִ֖ים וַאֲכָלָֽתַם׃ # verse = JER.5.14 1-2 לָכֵ֗ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 לָ לָכֵן ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=JER_5:14!1|MId=o240050140011|Strong=3807a 2 כֵ֗ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_5:14!1|MId=o240050140012|Strong=3651 3 כֹּֽה־ כֹּה ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=JER_5:14!2|MId=o240050140021|Strong=3541|SpaceAfter=No 4 אָמַ֤ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=JER_5:14!3|MId=o240050140031|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240050140041;|Type=qatal 5 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_5:14!4|MId=o240050140041|Strong=3068 6 אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=JER_5:14!5|MId=o240050140051|Strong=0430 7 צְבָא֔וֹת צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hosts|Ref=JER_5:14!6|MId=o240050140061|Strong=6635 8 יַ֚עַן יַעַן ADV _ _ 18 dislocated _ Gloss=because|Ref=JER_5:14!7|MId=o240050140071|Strong=3282 9-10 דַּבֶּרְכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 דַּבֶּר דָבַר VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 8 acl _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_5:14!8|MId=o240050140081|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:240050140082;A1:240050140102;|Type=infinitive_construct 10 ְכֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 nsubj _ Gloss=have.spoken|Ref=JER_5:14!8|MId=o240050140082|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_5:14!9|MId=o240050140091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 12-13 הַדָּבָ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_5:14!10|MId=o240050140101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 דָּבָ֖ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=word|Ref=JER_5:14!10|MId=o240050140102|Strong=1697 14-15 הַזֶּ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_5:14!11|MId=o240050140111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 זֶּ֑ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 13 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JER_5:14!11|MId=o240050140112|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 16-17 הִנְנִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הִנ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 18 nsubj _ Gloss=here|Ref=JER_5:14!12|MId=o240050140121|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 17 ְנִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_5:14!12|MId=o240050140122|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 18 נֹתֵן֩ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 4 ccomp _ Gloss=[am].about.to.make|Ref=JER_5:14!13|MId=o240050140131|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:240050140122;A1:240050140141;|Type=participle_active 19-20 דְּבָרַ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 דְּבָר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 obj _ Gloss=words|Ref=JER_5:14!14|MId=o240050140141|Strong=1697 20 ַ֨י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_5:14!14|MId=o240050140142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21-23 בְּפִ֜יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_5:14!15|MId=o240050140151|Strong=0871a 22 פִ֜י פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=mouth|Ref=JER_5:14!15|MId=o240050140152|Strong=6310 23 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_5:14!15|MId=o240050140153|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 24-25 לְאֵ֗שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=JER_5:14!16|MId=o240050140161|Strong=3807a 25 אֵ֗שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=a.fire|Ref=JER_5:14!16|MId=o240050140162|Strong=0784 26-28 וְהָעָ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_5:14!17|MId=o240050140171|Strong=2050b 27 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_5:14!17|MId=o240050140172|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 עָ֥ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 conj _ Gloss=people|Ref=JER_5:14!17|MId=o240050140173|Strong=5971 29-30 הַזֶּ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_5:14!18|MId=o240050140181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 זֶּ֛ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 28 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JER_5:14!18|MId=o240050140182|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 31 עֵצִ֖ים עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 28 xcomp _ Gloss=wood(s)|Ref=JER_5:14!19|MId=o240050140191|Strong=6086 32-34 וַאֲכָלָֽתַם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 33 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_5:14!20|MId=o240050140201|Strong=2050b 33 אֲכָלָֽת אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 18 conj _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_5:14!20|MId=o240050140202|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:240050140162;A1:240050140203;|Type=weqatal 34 ַם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 33 obj _ Gloss=will.consume.them|Ref=JER_5:14!20|MId=o240050140203|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=JER_5:14!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
