# Ezekiel 16:23 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness — woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD —

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** blood, Lord GOD · **What happens:** come, pass, say · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 16:23 · 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 (blood, Lord GOD), 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.
