# Jeremiah 19:12 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, even making this city as Topheth;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I, LORD · **What happens:** do, say, make · **To what, where:** city · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Jeremiah 19:12 · 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 (I, LORD), 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.
