# Isaiah 61:2 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
To proclaim the year of the LORD'S good pleasure, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** LORD · **What happens:** proclaim, comfort, mourn, please · **To what, where:** all

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 61:2 · 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.
