# Ezekiel 28:3 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! there is no secret that they can hide from thee!

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** thou, secret, seas · **What happens:** be, hide · **To what, where:** secret, thee

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 28:3 · 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 (thou, secret, seas), 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.
