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, thy — and what happens in the verse to cause, vengeance, sea, fountain, 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 כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה הִנְנִי־רָב֙ אֶת־רִיבֵ֔ךְ וְנִקַּמְתִּ֖י אֶת־נִקְמָתֵ֑ךְ וְהַחֲרַבְתִּי֙ אֶת־יַמָּ֔הּ וְהֹבַשְׁתִּ֖י אֶת־מְקוֹרָֽהּ׃ [Therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1413/) ## 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:1300 # text = לָכֵ֗ן כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה הִנְנִי־רָב֙ אֶת־רִיבֵ֔ךְ וְנִקַּמְתִּ֖י אֶת־נִקְמָתֵ֑ךְ וְהַחֲרַבְתִּי֙ אֶת־יַמָּ֔הּ וְהֹבַשְׁתִּ֖י אֶת־מְקוֹרָֽהּ׃ # verse = JER.51.36 1-2 לָכֵ֗ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 לָ לָכֵן ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=therefore|Ref=JER_51:36!1|MId=o240510360011|Strong=3807a 2 כֵ֗ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_51:36!1|MId=o240510360012|Strong=3651 3 כֹּ֚ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=JER_51:36!2|MId=o240510360021|Strong=3541 4 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=JER_51:36!3|MId=o240510360031|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240510360041;|Type=qatal 5 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JER_51:36!4|MId=o240510360041|Strong=3068 6-7 הִנְנִי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הִנ הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 8 nsubj _ Gloss=here|Ref=JER_51:36!5|MId=o240510360051|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 7 ְנִי־ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_51:36!5|MId=o240510360052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 8 רָב֙ רִיב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 4 ccomp _ Gloss=[am].about.to.conduct|Ref=JER_51:36!6|MId=o240510360061|Strong=7378|Frame=A0:240510360052;A1:240510360081;|Type=participle_active 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_51:36!7|MId=o240510360071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 רִיבֵ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 רִיב רִיב NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=case|Ref=JER_51:36!8|MId=o240510360081|Strong=7379 11 ֵ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_51:36!8|MId=o240510360082|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 12-13 וְנִקַּמְתִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_51:36!9|MId=o240510360091|Strong=2050b 13 נִקַּמְתִּ֖י נָקַם VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 8 conj _ Gloss=I.will.avenge|Ref=JER_51:36!9|MId=o240510360092|Strong=5358|Frame=A0:240510360041;A1:240510360111;|Type=weqatal 14 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_51:36!10|MId=o240510360101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 נִקְמָתֵ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 נִקְמָת נְקָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=vengeance|Ref=JER_51:36!11|MId=o240510360111|Strong=5360 16 ֵ֑ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JER_51:36!11|MId=o240510360112|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 17-18 וְהַחֲרַבְתִּי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_51:36!12|MId=o240510360121|Strong=2050b 18 הַחֲרַבְתִּי֙ חָרֵב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 8 conj _ Gloss=I.will.dry.up|Ref=JER_51:36!12|MId=o240510360122|Strong=2717|Frame=AA:240510360041;A0:240510360141;|Type=weqatal 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_51:36!13|MId=o240510360131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 יַמָּ֔הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 יַמּ יָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=sea|Ref=JER_51:36!14|MId=o240510360141|Strong=3220 21 ָ֔הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=JER_51:36!14|MId=o240510360142|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 22-23 וְהֹבַשְׁתִּ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_51:36!15|MId=o240510360151|Strong=2050b 23 הֹבַשְׁתִּ֖י יָבֵשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 8 conj _ Gloss=I.will.make.dry|Ref=JER_51:36!15|MId=o240510360152|Strong=3001|Frame=AA:240510360041;A0:240510360171;|Type=weqatal 24 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_51:36!16|MId=o240510360161|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 25-26 מְקוֹרָֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 מְקוֹר מָקוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obj _ Gloss=spring|Ref=JER_51:36!17|MId=o240510360171|Strong=4726 26 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=JER_51:36!17|MId=o240510360172|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=JER_51:36!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | רָב *\[am\] about to conduct* | participle active · qal | ְנִי־ *I* | רִיב *case* | | | | נִקַּמְתִּי *I will avenge* | weqatal · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | נִקְמָת *vengeance* | | | | הַחֲרַבְתִּי *I will dry up* | weqatal · hiphil | יַמּ *sea* | | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | הֹבַשְׁתִּי *I will make dry* | weqatal · hiphil | מְקוֹר *spring* | | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
