Proverbs 21:11 מִשְׁלֵי

Who acts: neighbour · What happens: punish, make, instruct, receive · To what, where: scorner, thoughtless, wise, knowledge

This is Proverbs 21:11 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 — neighbour — and what happens in the verse to scorner, thoughtless, wise, knowledge, 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.

בַּעְנָשׁ־לֵ֭ץיֶחְכַּם־פֶּ֑תִי וּבְהַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְ֝חָכָ֗ם יִקַּח־דָּֽעַת׃

When the scorner is punished, the thoughtless is made wise; and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

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

בְּתֻכֵּיהּ דִמְמִקִנָא נֶחְכַּם שַׁבְרָא וּבְסוּכְלְתָנוּתֵיהּ דְחַכִּימָא יִסַב יְדִיעֲתָא:

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.

When the scorner is punished, the thoughtless is made wise; and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
