Ecclesiastes 8:12 קֹהֶלֶת

Who acts: sinner, I, evil · What happens: do, prolong, know, be, fear · To what, where: evil, God · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Ecclesiastes 8:12 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 — sinner, I, evil — and what happens in the verse to evil, God, 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.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר חֹטֶ֗א עֹשֶׂ֥ה רָ֛ע מְאַ֖ת וּמַאֲרִ֣יךְ ל֑וֹ כִּ֚י גַּם־יוֹדֵ֣עַ אָ֔נִי אֲשֶׁ֤ר יִהְיֶה־טּוֹב֙ לְיִרְאֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִֽירְא֖וּ מִלְּפָנָֽיו׃

because a sinner doeth evil a hundred times, and prolongeth his days — though yet I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, that fear before 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

וּבִזְמַן דְּחַיָּבָא יַעֲבֵיד בִּישׁ מְאָה שְׁנִין וּמִן קֳדָם יְיָ אִתְיְהִיבַת לֵיהּ אַרְכָּא בְּגִין דְּיָתוּב אֲרוּם אִתְגְּלֵי לֵיה בְּרוּחַ קוּדְשָׁא וִידָעִית אֲנָא דִּיהֵי טָב לְעַלְמָא דְּאָתֵי לְדַחֲלַיָּא דַּיָי דְּדַחֲלִין מִן קֳדָמוֹהִי וְעָבְדִין רְעוּתֵיהּ:

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

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.
