# Isaiah 17:14 · JPS 1917, sentence 2 of 2

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** This, portion, lot · **What happens:** be, spoil, rob · **To what, where:** portion, us

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 17:14 · JPS 1917, sentence 2 of 2 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 (This, portion, lot), 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.
