# Isaiah 49:17 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth from thee.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** children, thee, destroyers · **What happens:** make, waste, go · **To what, where:** haste, thee

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 49:17 · 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 (children, thee, destroyers), 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.
