# Isaiah 17:11 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
In the day of thy planting thou didst make it to grow, and in the morning thou didst make thy seed to blossom — a heap of boughs in the day of grief and of desperate pain.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** thou, planting, seed, thy · **What happens:** make, grow, blossom, plant · **To what, where:** planting, seed

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 17:11 · 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 (thou, planting, seed, thy), 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.
