# Jeremiah 25:17 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Then took I the cup of the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I, nations, LORD · **What happens:** take, make, drink, send · **To what, where:** cup, nations, me

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Jeremiah 25:17 · 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, nations, 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.
