# Ezekiel 6:6 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your sun-images may be hewn down, and your works may be blotted out.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** high places, your · **What happens:** lay, be, make, break, cease, hewn down · **To what, where:** cities, dwelling places, altars, idols, sun images, works

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 6:6 · JPS 1917 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (high places, your), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.
