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 — I, people, man, one, horse — and what happens in the verse to Jerusalem, course, battle, 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. הִקְשַׁ֤בְתִּי וָֽאֶשְׁמָע֙ לוֹא־כֵ֣ן יְדַבֵּ֔רוּ אֵ֣ין אִ֗ישׁ נִחָם֙ עַל־רָ֣עָת֔וֹ לֵאמֹ֖ר מֶ֣ה עָשִׂ֑יתִי כֻּלֹּ֗ה שָׁ֚ב בִּמְר֣וּצָתָ֔ם כְּס֥וּס שׁוֹטֵ֖ף בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ [I attended and listened, but they spoke not aright; no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying: 'What have I done?'

Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:JER:212 # text = הִקְשַׁ֤בְתִּי וָֽאֶשְׁמָע֙ לוֹא־כֵ֣ן יְדַבֵּ֔רוּ אֵ֣ין אִ֗ישׁ נִחָם֙ עַל־רָ֣עָת֔וֹ לֵאמֹ֖ר מֶ֣ה עָשִׂ֑יתִי כֻּלֹּ֗ה שָׁ֚ב בִּמְר֣וּצָתָ֔ם כְּס֥וּס שׁוֹטֵ֖ף בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ # verse = JER.8.6 1 הִקְשַׁ֤בְתִּי קָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.have.paid.attention|Ref=JER_8:6!1|MId=o240080060011|Strong=7181|Frame=A0:240080030181;|Type=qatal 2-3 וָֽאֶשְׁמָע֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 וָֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_8:6!2|MId=o240080060021|Strong=2050b 3 אֶשְׁמָע֙ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 conj _ Gloss=I.have.heard|Ref=JER_8:6!2|MId=o240080060022|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:240080030181;|Type=wayyiqtol 4 לוֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JER_8:6!3|MId=o240080060031|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 5 כֵ֣ן כֵּן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 advmod _ Gloss=right|Ref=JER_8:6!4|MId=o240080060041|Strong=3651a|Type=adjective 6 יְדַבֵּ֔רוּ דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=they.speak|Ref=JER_8:6!5|MId=o240080060051|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:240080050032;|Type=yiqtol 7 אֵ֣ין אַיִן ADV _ _ 6 ccomp _ Gloss=there.[is].not|Ref=JER_8:6!6|MId=o240080060061|Strong=0369|Type=negative 8 אִ֗ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=anyone|Ref=JER_8:6!7|MId=o240080060071|Strong=0376 9 נִחָם֙ נָחַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing 8 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[who].relents|Ref=JER_8:6!8|MId=o240080060081|Strong=5162|Frame=A0:240080060071;|Type=participle_passive 10 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_8:6!9|MId=o240080060091|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 רָ֣עָת֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 רָ֣עָת רָעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=wickedness|Ref=JER_8:6!10|MId=o240080060101|Strong=7451b 12 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=JER_8:6!10|MId=o240080060102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13-14 לֵאמֹ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 16 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=JER_8:6!11|MId=o240080060111|Strong=3807a 14 אמֹ֖ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 13 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=JER_8:6!11|MId=o240080060112|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:240080060071;A1:240080060131;|Type=infinitive_construct 15 מֶ֣ה מָה PRON _ PronType=Int 16 obj _ Gloss=what?|Ref=JER_8:6!12|MId=o240080060121|Strong=4100|Type=interrogative 16 עָשִׂ֑יתִי עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 9 advcl _ Gloss=have.I.done|Ref=JER_8:6!13|MId=o240080060131|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:240080060071;A1:240080060121;|Type=qatal 17-18 כֻּלֹּ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 כֻּלּ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=of.it|Ref=JER_8:6!14|MId=o240080060141|Strong=3605 18 ֹ֗ה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=all|Ref=JER_8:6!14|MId=o240080060142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19 שָׁ֚ב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 7 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].turning|Ref=JER_8:6!15|MId=o240080060151|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:240080060142;|Type=participle_active 20-22 בִּמְר֣וּצָתָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_8:6!17|MId=o240080060171|Strong=0871a 21 מְר֣וּצָת מְרוּצָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=their.own|Ref=JER_8:6!17|MId=o240080060172|Strong=4794 22 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=course.[of.life]|Ref=JER_8:6!17|MId=o240080060173|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 23-24 כְּס֥וּס _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=JER_8:6!18|MId=o240080060181|Strong=3509a 24 ס֥וּס סוּס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=a.horse|Ref=JER_8:6!18|MId=o240080060182|Strong=5483 25 שׁוֹטֵ֖ף שָׁטַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 24 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[which].rushes|Ref=JER_8:6!19|MId=o240080060191|Strong=7857|Frame=A0:240080060182;|Type=participle_active 26-28 בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_8:6!20|MId=o240080060201|Strong=0871a 27 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_8:6!20|MId=o240080060201ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 מִּלְחָמָֽה מִלְחָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=battle|Ref=JER_8:6!20|MId=o240080060202|Strong=4421 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=JER_8:6!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
