# Deuteronomy 28:2 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
And all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** blessings, thou · **What happens:** come, overtake, hearken · **To what, where:** thee

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Deuteronomy 28:2 · 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 (blessings, thou), 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.
