# Ezekiel 36:34 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** land · **What happens:** be, till, pass by · **To what, where:** land, desolation, sight

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Ezekiel 36:34 · 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 (land), 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.
