# Isaiah 49:3 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And He said unto me: 'Thou art My servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.'

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** LORD · **What happens:** say, be, glorify · **To what, where:** servant, I · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 49:3 · 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 (LORD), 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.
