# Jeremiah 11:2 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
'Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** ye · **What happens:** hear, speak, word · **To what, where:** words, covenant · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Jeremiah 11:2 · 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 (ye), 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.
