# Isaiah 10:33 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the boughs with terror; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be laid low.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Lord · **What happens:** lop, hewn down, lay · **To what, where:** boughs, high ones, lofty

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 10:33 · 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.
