Ecclesiastes 10:14 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: fool, man · What happens: multiply, not know, be, tell · To what, where: words, fool · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ecclesiastes 10:14 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — fool, man — and what happens in the verse to words, fool, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 12 chapters of Ecclesiastes on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

וְהַסָּכָ֖ל יַרְבֶּ֣ה דְבָרִ֑ים לֹא־יֵדַ֤ע הָאָדָם֙ מַה־שֶׁיִּֽהְיֶ֔ה וַאֲשֶׁ֤ר יִֽהְיֶה֙ מֵֽאַחֲרָ֔יו מִ֖י יַגִּ֥יד לֽוֹ׃

A fool also multiplieth words; yet man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?

The tree

Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss.

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

The Targum

וְשָׁטְיָא מַסְגֵּי פִּתְגָמִין סְרִיקִין דְּלֵית בְּהוֹן צְרוֹךְ עַד דְּלָא יִנְדַע אֱנָשׁ מַה דַּעֲתִיד לְמֶהֱוֵי בְּיוֹמוֹהִי וּמַה דַּעֲתִיד לְמֶהֱוֵי בִּסְיָיפֵיה מַן יְחַוֵּי לֵיהּ:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.

English, JPS 1917

Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics. A sentence that runs on into the next verse is listed under the verse it begins in.

A fool also multiplieth words; yet man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?
