# Jeremiah 44:20 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people that had given him that answer, saying:

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Jeremiah, people · **What happens:** say, give · **To what, where:** answer, Jeremiah · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Jeremiah 44:20 · 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 (Jeremiah, people), 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.
