Ecclesiastes 9:17 קֹהֶלֶת
Who acts: words, ruler · What happens: speak, be, word, cry · To what, where: words, quiet, wise · Speech: someone speaks in this verse
This is Ecclesiastes 9:17 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 — words, ruler — and what happens in the verse to words, quiet, wise, 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.
דִּבְרֵ֣י חֲכָמִ֔ים בְּנַ֖חַת נִשְׁמָעִ֑ים מִזַּעֲקַ֥ת מוֹשֵׁ֖ל בַּכְּסִילִֽים׃
The words of the wise spoken in quiet are more acceptable than the cry of a ruler among fools.
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.

מִלֵּי דִּצְלוֹתָא דְּחַכִּימַיָּא בַחֲשַׁאי מִתְקַבְּלִין קֳדָם מָרֵי עָלְמָא יַתִּיר מִקִבְּלַת גַבְרָא רַשִּׁיעָא דְּהוּא שָׁלִיט עַל שָׁטְיָן דְּפַגִין וְלֵית מְקַבֵּיל:
