Proverbs 4:16 מִשְׁלֵי

Who acts: paths, some · What happens: not sleep, do, take away, cause, fall, sleep · To what, where: evil, sleep, some

This is Proverbs 4:16 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 — paths, some — and what happens in the verse to evil, sleep, some, 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.

כִּ֤י לֹ֣א יִֽ֭שְׁנוּ אִם־לֹ֣א יָרֵ֑עוּ וְֽנִגְזְלָ֥ה שְׁ֝נָתָ֗ם אִם־לֹ֥א יַכְשִֽׁילוּ׃

For they sleep not, except they have done evil; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

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.

לָא דָמְכִין עַד מָה דְמַבְאֲשִׁין וּפְרִידָא שִׁנְתְּהוֹן עַד מָה דְעָבְדִין תִּקְלָא:
