# Jeremiah 9:24 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them that are circumcised in their uncircumcision:

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** days, LORD, I · **What happens:** come, say, punish, circumcise · **To what, where:** mercy, uncircumcision · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Jeremiah 9:24 · 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 (days, LORD, 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.
