# Jeremiah 33:17 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
For thus saith the LORD: There shall not be cut off unto David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** LORD · **What happens:** say, not cut off, sit · **To what, where:** man, throne · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Jeremiah 33:17 · 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 (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.
