# Isaiah 34:1 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Come near, ye nations, to hear, and attend, ye peoples; let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof, the world, and all things that come forth of it.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** you, earth, things · **What happens:** come, hear, attend, let · **To what, where:** earth

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 34:1 · 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 (you, earth, things), 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.
