Ecclesiastes 8:13 קֹהֶלֶת
Who acts: evil, sinner, days · What happens: not be, prolong, be, not fear
This is Ecclesiastes 8:13 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 — evil, sinner, days — and what happens in the verse, 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.
וְטוֹב֙ לֹֽא־יִהְיֶ֣ה לָֽרָשָׁ֔ע וְלֹֽא־יַאֲרִ֥יךְ יָמִ֖ים כַּצֵּ֑ל אֲשֶׁ֛ר אֵינֶ֥נּוּ יָרֵ֖א מִלִּפְנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים׃
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.

The Targum
וְטָב לָא יְהֵי לְרַשִּׁיעָא וְלָא יְהֵי לֵיהּ אַרְכָּא לְעַלְמָא דְּאָתֵי וּבְעַלְמָא הָדֵין אִתְקְטָעוּן יוֹמֵי חַיּוֹהִי וִיעַרְקוּן וִיחַלְפוּן כִּטְלָלָא בְּגִין דְּלֵיתוֹהִי דָּחִיל מִן קֳדָם יְיָ:
