Ecclesiastes 2:8 · JPS 1917

I gathered me also silver and gold, and treasure such as kings and the provinces have as their own; I got me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sons of men, women very many.

Who acts: I, kings, sons · What happens: gather, have, get, delight · To what, where: silver, me, men singers

This is Ecclesiastes 2:8 · JPS 1917 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (I, kings, sons), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.
