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, Babylon, I, stone — and what happens in the verse to evil, words, 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. וְאָמַרְתָּ֗ כָּ֠כָה תִּשְׁקַ֨ע בָּבֶ֤ל וְלֹֽא־תָקוּם֙ מִפְּנֵ֣י הָרָעָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֧ר אָנֹכִ֛י מֵבִ֥יא עָלֶ֖יהָ וְיָעֵ֑פוּ עַד־הֵ֖נָּה דִּבְרֵ֥י יִרְמְיָֽהוּ׃ס [and thou shalt say: Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again because of the evil that I will bring upon her; and they shall be weary.'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:JER:1328 # text = וְאָמַרְתָּ֗ כָּ֠כָה תִּשְׁקַ֨ע בָּבֶ֤ל וְלֹֽא־תָקוּם֙ מִפְּנֵ֣י הָרָעָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֧ר אָנֹכִ֛י מֵבִ֥יא עָלֶ֖יהָ וְיָעֵ֑פוּ עַד־הֵ֖נָּה דִּבְרֵ֥י יִרְמְיָֽהוּ׃ס # verse = JER.51.64 1-2 וְאָמַרְתָּ֗ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_51:64!1|MId=o240510640011|Strong=2050b 2 אָמַרְתָּ֗ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.say|Ref=JER_51:64!1|MId=o240510640012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240510610041;|Type=weqatal 3 כָּ֠כָה כָּכָה ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=JER_51:64!2|MId=o240510640021|Strong=3602 4 תִּשְׁקַ֨ע שָׁקַע VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=it.will.sink|Ref=JER_51:64!3|MId=o240510640031|Strong=8257|Frame=A0:240510640041;|Type=yiqtol 5 בָּבֶ֤ל בָּבֶל PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Babylon|Ref=JER_51:64!4|MId=o240510640041|Strong=0894 6-7 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_51:64!5|MId=o240510640051|Strong=2050b 7 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_51:64!5|MId=o240510640052|Strong=3808|Type=negative 8 תָקוּם֙ קוּם VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=it.will.rise|Ref=JER_51:64!6|MId=o240510640061|Strong=6965|Frame=A0:240510640041;|Type=yiqtol 9-10 מִפְּנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=because|Ref=JER_51:64!7|MId=o240510640071|Strong=4480 10 פְּנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 8 obl _ Gloss=of|Ref=JER_51:64!7|MId=o240510640072|Strong=6440 11-12 הָרָעָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_51:64!8|MId=o240510640081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 רָעָ֗ה רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=calamity|Ref=JER_51:64!8|MId=o240510640082|Strong=7451b 13 אֲשֶׁ֧ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=JER_51:64!9|MId=o240510640091|Strong=0834|Type=relative 14 אָנֹכִ֛י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=JER_51:64!10|MId=o240510640101|Strong=0595|Type=personal 15 מֵבִ֥יא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[am].about.to.bring|Ref=JER_51:64!11|MId=o240510640111|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:240510640101;A0:240510640082;|Type=participle_active 16-17 עָלֶ֖יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 עָלֶ֖י עַל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_51:64!12|MId=o240510640121|Strong=5921 17 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=JER_51:64!12|MId=o240510640122|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 18-19 וְיָעֵ֑פוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_51:64!13|MId=o240510640131|Strong=2050b 19 יָעֵ֑פוּ יָעֵף VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=they.will.grow.weary|Ref=JER_51:64!13|MId=o240510640132|Strong=3286|Frame=A0:240510640041;|Type=weqatal 20 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=[are].to|Ref=JER_51:64!14|MId=o240510640141|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 21 הֵ֖נָּה הֵנָּה ADV _ _ 4 parataxis _ Gloss=here|Ref=JER_51:64!15|MId=o240510640151|Strong=2008 22 דִּבְרֵ֥י דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 nsubj _ Gloss=the.words|Ref=JER_51:64!16|MId=o240510640161|Strong=1697 23 יִרְמְיָֽהוּ יִרְמְיָהוּ PROPN _ _ 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jeremiah|Ref=JER_51:64!17|MId=o240510640171|Strong=3414a|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JER_51:64!17|SpaceAfter=No 25 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=JER_51:64!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַרְתָּ *you will say* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | תִּשְׁקַע *it will sink* | yiqtol · qal | בָּבֶל *Babylon* | | | | | **not** תָקוּם *it will rise* | yiqtol · qal | בָּבֶל *Babylon* | | | | | מֵבִיא *\[am\] about to bring* | participle active · hiphil | רָעָה *calamity* | | | אָנֹכִי *I* | | יָעֵפוּ *they will grow weary* | weqatal · qal | בָּבֶל *Babylon* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
