Proverbs 30:20 מִשְׁלֵי

Who acts: woman, I · What happens: be, eat, wipe, say, do · To what, where: way, mouth, wickedness · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Proverbs 30:20 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 — woman, I — and what happens in the verse to way, mouth, wickedness, 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.

כֵּ֤ן ׀ דֶּ֥רֶךְ אִשָּׁ֗ה מְנָ֫אָ֥פֶת אָ֭כְלָה וּמָ֣חֲתָה פִ֑יהָ וְ֝אָמְרָ֗ה לֹֽא־פָעַ֥לְתִּי אָֽוֶן׃פ

So is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: 'I have done no wickedness.'

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

הֵיכְנָא אָרְחָא דְאִתְּתָא גָיַרְתָּא אָכְלָא וּמְכַפְּרָה פּוּמָהּ וְאָמְרָה לָא עֲבַדֵית מִדַעַם רְעָתָא:
