# Hosea 5:6 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
With their flocks and with their herds they shall go to seek the LORD, but they shall not find Him; He hath withdrawn Himself from them.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** doings, Israel · **What happens:** go, seek, not find, withdraw · **To what, where:** LORD, Israel

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Hosea 5:6 · 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 (doings, Israel), 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.
