Jeremiah 7:24 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Jonathan, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER.7.24/) [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 7](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/JER/7/) / 7:24 # Jeremiah 7:24 יִרְמְיָהוּ **Who acts:** offerings · **What happens:** not hearken, incline, walk, go · **To what, where:** ear, own counsels This is Jeremiah 7:24 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 — offerings — and what happens in the verse to ear, own counsels, 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. וְלֹ֤א שָֽׁמְעוּ֙ וְלֹֽא־הִטּ֣וּ אֶת־אָזְנָ֔ם וַיֵּֽלְכוּ֙ בְּמֹ֣עֵצ֔וֹת בִּשְׁרִר֖וּת לִבָּ֣ם הָרָ֑ע וַיִּהְי֥וּ לְאָח֖וֹר וְלֹ֥א לְפָנִֽים׃ [But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels, even in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward,](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.226/) ## 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:196 # text = וְלֹ֤א שָֽׁמְעוּ֙ וְלֹֽא־הִטּ֣וּ אֶת־אָזְנָ֔ם וַיֵּֽלְכוּ֙ בְּמֹ֣עֵצ֔וֹת בִּשְׁרִר֖וּת לִבָּ֣ם הָרָ֑ע וַיִּהְי֥וּ לְאָח֖וֹר וְלֹ֥א לְפָנִֽים׃ # verse = JER.7.24 1-2 וְלֹ֤א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_7:24!1|MId=o240070240011|Strong=2050b 2 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_7:24!1|MId=o240070240012|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3 שָֽׁמְעוּ֙ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.listened|Ref=JER_7:24!2|MId=o240070240021|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:240070220051;|Type=qatal 4-5 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_7:24!3|MId=o240070240031|Strong=2050b 5 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_7:24!3|MId=o240070240032|Strong=3808|Type=negative 6 הִטּ֣וּ נָטָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.inclined|Ref=JER_7:24!4|MId=o240070240041|Strong=5186|Frame=AA:240070220051;A0:240070240061;|Type=qatal 7 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JER_7:24!5|MId=o240070240051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 אָזְנָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אָזְנ אֹזֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=ear|Ref=JER_7:24!6|MId=o240070240061|Strong=0241 9 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_7:24!6|MId=o240070240062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 10-11 וַיֵּֽלְכוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_7:24!7|MId=o240070240071|Strong=2050b 11 יֵּֽלְכוּ֙ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.walked|Ref=JER_7:24!7|MId=o240070240072|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:240070220051;|Type=wayyiqtol 12-13 בְּמֹ֣עֵצ֔וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_7:24!8|MId=o240070240081|Strong=0871a 13 מֹ֣עֵצ֔וֹת מוֹעֵצָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 11 obl _ Gloss=schemes|Ref=JER_7:24!8|MId=o240070240082|Strong=4156 14-15 בִּשְׁרִר֖וּת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_7:24!9|MId=o240070240091|Strong=0871a 15 שְׁרִר֖וּת שְׁרִרוּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 conj _ Gloss=the.stubbornness|Ref=JER_7:24!9|MId=o240070240092|Strong=8307 16-17 לִבָּ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לִבּ לֵב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=their.own.heart|Ref=JER_7:24!10|MId=o240070240101|Strong=3820 17 ָ֣ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=JER_7:24!10|MId=o240070240102|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18-19 הָרָ֑ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_7:24!11|MId=o240070240111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 רָ֑ע רַע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 amod _ Gloss=evil|Ref=JER_7:24!11|MId=o240070240112|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 20-21 וַיִּהְי֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_7:24!12|MId=o240070240121|Strong=2050b 21 יִּהְי֥וּ הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 11 conj _ Gloss=they.were|Ref=JER_7:24!12|MId=o240070240122|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:240070220051;|Type=wayyiqtol 22-23 לְאָח֖וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=JER_7:24!13|MId=o240070240131|Strong=3807a 23 אָח֖וֹר אָחוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=backwards|Ref=JER_7:24!13|MId=o240070240132|Strong=0268 24-25 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_7:24!14|MId=o240070240141|Strong=2050b 25 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 21 conj _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_7:24!14|MId=o240070240142|Strong=3808|Type=negative 26-27 לְפָנִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=JER_7:24!15|MId=o240070240151|Strong=3807a 27 פָנִֽים פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 25 obl _ Gloss=forwards|Ref=JER_7:24!15|MId=o240070240152|Strong=6440 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=JER_7:24!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** שָֽׁמְעוּ *they listened* | qatal · qal | | | | | | **not** הִטּוּ *they inclined* | qatal · hiphil | אָזְנ *ear* | | | | | יֵּֽלְכוּ *they walked* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | **not** יִּהְיוּ *they were* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
