<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it?

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** vine, east wind · **What happens:** not wither, touch · **To what, where:** vine

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 17:10 · JPS 1917, sentence 2 of 3 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 (vine, east wind), 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.
