Jerusalem hath grievously sinned, therefore she is become as one unclean; all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness; she herself also sigheth, and turneth backward.

Who acts: Jerusalem, all, people · What happens: sin, become, honour, despise, see, sigh · To what, where: Jerusalem, nakedness

This is Lamentations 1:8 · 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 (Jerusalem, all, people), 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.
