# Isaiah 29:3 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And I will encamp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mound, and I will raise siege works against thee.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I · **What happens:** encamp, lay, raise · **To what, where:** siege, thee, siege works

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 29:3 · 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 (I), 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.
