# Ezekiel 18:14 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins, which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** man, son · **What happens:** beget, see, do, consider, not do · **To what, where:** son, sins, such like

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 18:14 · 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 (man, son), 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.
