# Isaiah 47:15 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured; they that have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander every one to his quarter; there shall be none to save thee.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** astrologers, thou, none · **What happens:** be, labour, traffic, wander, save · **To what, where:** youth, one, quarter, thee

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 47:15 · 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 (astrologers, thou, 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.
