# Isaiah 22:17 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Behold, the LORD will hurl thee up and down with a man's throw; yea, He will wind thee round and round;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** LORD, man · **What happens:** hurl up, wind, throw · **To what, where:** thee

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 22:17 · 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, man), 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.
