# Ezekiel 24:22 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your upper lips, nor eat the bread of men;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** ye, I · **What happens:** do, not cover, eat · **To what, where:** upper lips, bread

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 24:22 · 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 (ye, I), 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.
