# Zechariah 7:13 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And it came to pass that, as He called, and they would not hear; so they shall call, and I will not hear, said the LORD of hosts;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** wrath, LORD, widow, I · **What happens:** come, pass, call, not hear, say · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Zechariah 7:13 · 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 (wrath, LORD, widow, I), 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.

**Source.** The Holy Scriptures according to the Masoretic Text, Jewish Publication Society, 1917, from eBible.org: public domain. Sentence `jps:ZEC:98` of Mova's parse database.

**The tree and the speech act** come from Mova's cycle: the small model's draft, read by a large model as teacher, passed by Mova's gates (Elamur Cosmic License). **The frames** are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (`prag`) when this page is built, the chapter read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence of the chapter.
