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 — Thou, eyes — and what happens in the verse to eyes, correction, faces, 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. יְהֹוָ֗ה עֵינֶיךָ֮ הֲל֣וֹא לֶאֱמוּנָה֒ הִכִּ֤יתָה אֹתָם֙ וְֽלֹא־חָ֔לוּ כִּלִּיתָ֕ם מֵאֲנ֖וּ קַ֣חַת מוּסָ֑ר חִזְּק֤וּ פְנֵיהֶם֙ מִסֶּ֔לַע מֵאֲנ֖וּ לָשֽׁוּב׃ [O LORD, are not Thine eyes upon truth?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.137/) [Thou hast stricken them, but they were not affected; Thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction; they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.138/) ## 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:114 # text = יְהֹוָ֗ה עֵינֶיךָ֮ הֲל֣וֹא לֶאֱמוּנָה֒ הִכִּ֤יתָה אֹתָם֙ וְֽלֹא־חָ֔לוּ כִּלִּיתָ֕ם מֵאֲנ֖וּ קַ֣חַת מוּסָ֑ר חִזְּק֤וּ פְנֵיהֶם֙ מִסֶּ֔לַע מֵאֲנ֖וּ לָשֽׁוּב׃ # verse = JER.5.3 1 יְהֹוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 5 dislocated _ Gloss=O.Yahweh|Ref=JER_5:3!1|MId=o240050030011|Strong=3068 2-3 עֵינֶיךָ֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 עֵינֶי עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 5 dislocated _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=JER_5:3!2|MId=o240050030021|Strong=5869 3 ךָ֮ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[are].your|Ref=JER_5:3!2|MId=o240050030022|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 4-5 הֲל֣וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 5 advmod _ Gloss=?|Ref=JER_5:3!3|MId=o240050030031|Strong=1886b|Type=interrogative 5 ל֣וֹא לֹא ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_5:3!3|MId=o240050030032|Strong=3808|Type=negative 6-7 לֶאֱמוּנָה֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לֶ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_5:3!4|MId=o240050030041|Strong=3807a 7 אֱמוּנָה֒ אֱמוּנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=faithfulness|Ref=JER_5:3!4|MId=o240050030042|Strong=0530 8 הִכִּ֤יתָה נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 parataxis _ Gloss=you.struck|Ref=JER_5:3!5|MId=o240050030051|Strong=5221|Frame=AA:240050030011;A0:240050030062;|Type=qatal 9-10 אֹתָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_5:3!6|MId=o240050030061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 10 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=JER_5:3!6|MId=o240050030062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11-12 וְֽלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_5:3!7|MId=o240050030071|Strong=2050b 12 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_5:3!7|MId=o240050030072|Strong=3808|Type=negative 13 חָ֔לוּ חיל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=they.became.weak|Ref=JER_5:3!8|MId=o240050030081|Strong=2470|Frame=A0:240050010031;|Type=qatal 14-15 כִּלִּיתָ֕ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 כִּלִּיתָ֕ כָּלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 parataxis _ Gloss=you|Ref=JER_5:3!9|MId=o240050030091|Strong=3615|Frame=A0:240050030011;A1:240050030092;|Type=qatal 15 ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=brought.them.to.an.end|Ref=JER_5:3!9|MId=o240050030092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 16 מֵאֲנ֖וּ מָאֵן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=they.refused|Ref=JER_5:3!10|MId=o240050030101|Strong=3985|Frame=A0:240050010031;A1:240050030111;|Type=qatal 17 קַ֣חַת לָקַח VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 16 ccomp _ Gloss=to.accept|Ref=JER_5:3!11|MId=o240050030111|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:240050010031;A1:240050030121;|Type=infinitive_construct 18 מוּסָ֑ר מוּסָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=correction|Ref=JER_5:3!12|MId=o240050030121|Strong=4148 19 חִזְּק֤וּ חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=they.made.strong|Ref=JER_5:3!13|MId=o240050030131|Strong=2388|Frame=A0:240050010031;A1:240050030141;|Type=qatal 20-21 פְנֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 פְנֵי פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 19 obj _ Gloss=faces|Ref=JER_5:3!14|MId=o240050030141|Strong=6440 21 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_5:3!14|MId=o240050030142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 מִסֶּ֔לַע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=more|Ref=JER_5:3!15|MId=o240050030151|Strong=4480 23 סֶּ֔לַע סֶלַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=than.rock|Ref=JER_5:3!15|MId=o240050030152|Strong=5553 24 מֵאֲנ֖וּ מָאֵן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=they.refused|Ref=JER_5:3!16|MId=o240050030161|Strong=3985|Frame=A0:240050010031;|Type=qatal 25-26 לָשֽׁוּב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JER_5:3!17|MId=o240050030171|Strong=3807a 26 שֽׁוּב שׁוּב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 24 xcomp _ Gloss=return|Ref=JER_5:3!17|MId=o240050030172|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:240050010031;|Type=infinitive_construct 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=JER_5:3!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
