# Isaiah 46:3 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that are borne by Me from the birth, that are carried from the womb:

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** you, Me · **What happens:** hearken, bear, carry · **To what, where:** remnant, birth, womb

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 46:3 · 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 (you, Me), 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.
