# Jeremiah 51:63 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** thou, end · **What happens:** be, make, read, bind, cast · **To what, where:** word, end, book, stone, midst

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Jeremiah 51:63 · 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 (thou, end), 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.
