Job 12:4 אִיּוֹב

Who acts: I, man, wisdom, just · What happens: be, call, answer · To what, where: laughing stock, God · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Job 12:4 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 — I, man, wisdom, just — and what happens in the verse to laughing stock, 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 42 chapters of Job on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

שְׂחֹ֤ק לְרֵעֵ֨הוּ ׀ אֶֽהְיֶ֗ה קֹרֵ֣א לֶ֭אֱלוֹהַּ וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֑הוּ שְׂ֝ח֗וֹק צַדִּ֥יק תָּמִֽים׃

I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbour, a man that called upon God, and He answered him; the just, the innocent man is a laughing-stock,

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.

Pragmatics

form: statement
act: assert
voice: character
speech: a frame and its quote
negation: no
the frame alone: decl · assert · none

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
אֶֽהְיֶה I am	yiqtol · qal
יַּעֲנ he	wayyiqtol · qal	אֱלוֹהַּ God	ֵהוּ answered him

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

חוֹכָא לְחַבְרֵיהּ אֱהֵי דְקָרֵי לֶאֱלָהָא וְעָנֵי יָתֵיהּ חַיִךְ לְזַכָּאָה שְׁלִימָא:

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