This is Isaiah 63:15 · 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 (you, Thy, heart), 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.
