# Isaiah 48:11 · JPS 1917, sentence 1 of 2

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
For Mine own sake, for Mine own sake, will I do it; for how should it be profaned?

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I · **What happens:** do, profane · **To what, where:** sake

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 48:11 · JPS 1917, sentence 1 of 2 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 (I), 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.
