Ecclesiastes 5:5 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: you, thou, flesh, God, hands · What happens: not suffer, bring, say, be, destroy, work · To what, where: mouth, flesh, guilt, error, voice, work · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ecclesiastes 5:5 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 — you, thou, flesh, God, hands — and what happens in the verse to mouth, flesh, guilt, error, voice, work, 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.

אַל־תִּתֵּ֤ן אֶת־פִּ֙יךָ֙ לַחֲטִ֣יא אֶת־בְּשָׂרֶ֔ךָ וְאַל־תֹּאמַר֙ לִפְנֵ֣י הַמַּלְאָ֔ךְ כִּ֥י שְׁגָגָ֖ה הִ֑יא לָ֣מָּה יִקְצֹ֤ף הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ עַל־קוֹלֶ֔ךָ וְחִבֵּ֖ל אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָדֶֽיךָ׃

Suffer not thy mouth to bring thy flesh into guilt, neither say thou before the messenger, that it was an error; wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?

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

לָא תְנַבֵּיל יָת מֵימַר דְפּוּמָּךְ לְמִגְּרַם דִּין גֵּיהִנָּם עֲלֵי בִּסְרָךְ וּבְיוֹם דִּינָא רַבָּא לָא תֵיכוּל לְמֵימַר קֳדָם מַלְאֲכָא אַכְזָרָא דְּרָדֵי בָךְ אֲרוּם שָׁלוּתָא הִיא לְמָא דֵין יַתְקֵף רוּגְזָא דַּיָי עַל קָל מֵימְרָךְ דְּאִתְאֲמַר בִּגְנוּתָא וִיחַבֵּיל יָת עוֹבָדֵי יְדָךְ:

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.

1. Suffer not thy mouth to bring thy flesh into guilt, neither say thou before the messenger, that it was an error; wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?
