# Isaiah 1:6 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and festering sores: they have not been pressed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** soundness · **What happens:** be, not press, bind up, mollify · **To what, where:** sole, soundness

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 1:6 · 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 (soundness), 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.
