# Jeremiah 36:11 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And when Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Micaiah · **What happens:** hear out, word · **To what, where:** book, LORD

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Jeremiah 36:11 · 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 (Micaiah), 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.
