# Isaiah 55:12 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** ye, mountains, trees · **What happens:** go out, lead, break, clap · **To what, where:** singing, hands

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 55:12 · 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 (ye, mountains, trees), 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.
