Jeremiah 5:6 --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER.5.6/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Nevi'im](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/) / [Jeremiah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER/) / [chapter 5](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER/5/) / 5:6 # Jeremiah 5:6 יִרְמְיָהוּ **Who acts:** lion, wolf, leopard, one, transgressions, eyes · **What happens:** slay, spoil, watch, go out, tear, be · **To what, where:** eyes, cities, one, pieces, backslidings This is Jeremiah 5:6 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 — lion, wolf, leopard, one, transgressions, eyes — and what happens in the verse to eyes, cities, one, pieces, backslidings, 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. עַל־כֵּן֩ הִכָּ֨ם אַרְיֵ֜ה מִיַּ֗עַר זְאֵ֤ב עֲרָבוֹת֙ יְשָׁדְדֵ֔ם נָמֵ֤ר שֹׁקֵד֙ עַל־עָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם כָּל־הַיּוֹצֵ֥א מֵהֵ֖נָּה יִטָּרֵ֑ף כִּ֤י רַבּוּ֙ פִּשְׁעֵיהֶ֔ם עָצְמ֖וּ מְשׁוּבוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃ [Wherefore a lion out of the forest doth slay them, a wolf of the deserts doth spoil them, a leopard watcheth over their cities, every one that goeth out thence is torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, their backslidings are increased.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.141/) ## 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:117 # text = עַל־כֵּן֩ הִכָּ֨ם אַרְיֵ֜ה מִיַּ֗עַר זְאֵ֤ב עֲרָבוֹת֙ יְשָׁדְדֵ֔ם נָמֵ֤ר שֹׁקֵד֙ עַל־עָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם כָּל־הַיּוֹצֵ֥א מֵהֵ֖נָּה יִטָּרֵ֑ף כִּ֤י רַבּוּ֙ פִּשְׁעֵיהֶ֔ם עָצְמ֖וּ מְשׁוּבוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃ # verse = JER.5.6 1 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=JER_5:6!1|MId=o240050060011|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 2 כֵּן֩ כֵּן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_5:6!2|MId=o240050060021|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 3-4 הִכָּ֨ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הִכּ נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_5:6!3|MId=o240050060031|Strong=5221|Frame=A0:240050060032;AA:240050060041;|Type=qatal 4 ָ֨ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 obj _ Gloss=will.attack.them|Ref=JER_5:6!3|MId=o240050060032|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 אַרְיֵ֜ה אַרְיֵה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 nsubj _ Gloss=a.lion|Ref=JER_5:6!4|MId=o240050060041|Strong=0738a 6-7 מִיַּ֗עַר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_5:6!5|MId=o240050060051|Strong=4480 7 יַּ֗עַר יַעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=a.forest|Ref=JER_5:6!5|MId=o240050060052|Strong=3293 8 זְאֵ֤ב זְאֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=a.wolf|Ref=JER_5:6!6|MId=o240050060061|Strong=2061 9 עֲרָבוֹת֙ עֲרָבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.desert.plains|Ref=JER_5:6!7|MId=o240050060071|Strong=6160 10-11 יְשָׁדְדֵ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 יְשָׁדְד שָׁדַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_5:6!8|MId=o240050060081|Strong=7703|Frame=A0:240050060061;A1:240050060082;|Type=yiqtol 11 ֵ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=will.devastate.them|Ref=JER_5:6!8|MId=o240050060082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12 נָמֵ֤ר נָמֵר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=a.leopard|Ref=JER_5:6!9|MId=o240050060091|Strong=5246 13 שֹׁקֵד֙ שָׁקַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=[will.be].lying.in.wait|Ref=JER_5:6!10|MId=o240050060101|Strong=8245|Frame=A0:240050060091;|Type=participle_active 14 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=JER_5:6!11|MId=o240050060111|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 עָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 עָ֣רֵי עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=cities|Ref=JER_5:6!12|MId=o240050060121|Strong=5892 16 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_5:6!12|MId=o240050060122|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 17 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=every|Ref=JER_5:6!13|MId=o240050060131|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 הַיּוֹצֵ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=(the).[one|Ref=JER_5:6!14|MId=o240050060141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 יּוֹצֵ֥א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=who].goes.out|Ref=JER_5:6!14|MId=o240050060142|Strong=3318|Type=participle_active 20-21 מֵהֵ֖נָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JER_5:6!15|MId=o240050060151|Strong=4480 21 הֵ֖נָּה הֵנָּה PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=JER_5:6!15|MId=o240050060152|Strong=2007|Type=personal 22 יִטָּרֵ֑ף טָרַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.be.torn.in.pieces|Ref=JER_5:6!16|MId=o240050060161|Strong=2963|Frame=A1:240050060142;|Type=yiqtol 23 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_5:6!17|MId=o240050060171|Strong=3588 24 רַבּוּ֙ רָבַב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=they.are.many|Ref=JER_5:6!18|MId=o240050060181|Strong=7231|Frame=A0:240050060191;|Type=qatal 25-26 פִּשְׁעֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 פִּשְׁעֵי פֶּשַׁע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 nsubj _ Gloss=transgressions|Ref=JER_5:6!19|MId=o240050060191|Strong=6588 26 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_5:6!19|MId=o240050060192|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27 עָצְמ֖וּ עָצֹם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=they.are.numerous|Ref=JER_5:6!20|MId=o240050060201|Strong=6105|Frame=A0:240050060221;|Type=qatal 28-29 מְשׁוּבוֹתֵיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 מְשׁוּבוֹתֵי מְשׁוּבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 27 nsubj _ Gloss=apostasies|Ref=JER_5:6!22|MId=o240050060221|Strong=4878 29 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_5:6!22|MId=o240050060222|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=JER_5:6!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
