Nehemiah 5:9 · JPS 1917

Also I said: 'The thing that ye do is not good; ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?

Who acts: I, ye, thing · What happens: say, do, not be, not walk, fear · To what, where: thing, fear, God · Speech: someone speaks here

This is Nehemiah 5:9 · 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, ye, thing), 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.
