Proverbs 17:20 מִשְׁלֵי

Who acts: brother · What happens: have, find, fall · To what, where: froward heart, good, perverse tongue, evil

This is Proverbs 17:20 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 — brother — and what happens in the verse to froward heart, good, perverse tongue, evil, 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 31 chapters of Proverbs on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

עִקֶּשׁ־לֵ֭ב לֹ֣א יִמְצָא־ט֑וֹב וְנֶהְפָּ֥ךְ בִּ֝לְשׁוֹנ֗וֹ יִפּ֥וֹל בְּרָעָֽה׃

He that hath a froward heart findeth no good; and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into evil.

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: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: yes

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
not יִמְצָא־ he finds	yiqtol · qal	עִקֶּשׁ־ [a person] perverse	טוֹב good
יִפּוֹל he falls	yiqtol · qal	נֶהְפָּךְ [one who is] perverted

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

מִן דְעַקִים לִבֵּיהּ לָא מַשְׁכַּח טָבְתָא וּדְמִתְהַפֵּךְ בְּלִשָׁנֵיהּ נָפַל בְּבִישְׁתָּא:

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.

He that hath a froward heart findeth no good; and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into evil.
