Thus saith the LORD: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine; they shall go after thee, in chains they shall come over; and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee: Surely God is in thee, and there is none else, there is no other God.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** LORD, labour, God, none, other God · **What happens:** say, come over, be, go, fall down, make · **To what, where:** thine, chains, supplication, thee · **Speech:** someone speaks here

This is Isaiah 45:14 · 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 (LORD, labour, God, none), 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.
