# Isaiah 46:7 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
He is borne upon the shoulder, he is carried, and set in his place, and he standeth, from his place he doth not remove; yea, though one cry unto him, he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** goldsmith, one · **What happens:** bear, carry, set, stand, not remove, cry · **To what, where:** goldsmith, place, trouble

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 46:7 · 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 (goldsmith, one), 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.
