Isaiah 19:11 יְשַׁעְיָהוּ

Who acts: princes, wisest counsellors, ye, I · What happens: be, say · To what, where: utter fools, senseless counsel, son · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Isaiah 19:11 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — princes, wisest counsellors, ye, I — and what happens in the verse to utter fools, senseless counsel, son, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan 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 66 chapters of Isaiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

אַךְ־אֱוִלִים֙ שָׂ֣רֵי צֹ֔עַן חַכְמֵי֙ יֹעֲצֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה עֵצָ֖ה נִבְעָרָ֑ה אֵ֚יךְ תֹּאמְר֣וּ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֔ה בֶּן־חֲכָמִ֥ים אֲנִ֖י בֶּן־מַלְכֵי־קֶֽדֶם׃

The princes of Zoan are utter fools; the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh are a senseless counsel; how can ye say unto Pharaoh: 'I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings'?

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.

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

Targum Jonathan

בְּרַם אִטַפָּשׁוּ רַבְרְבַי טָאנֵס חַכִּימַיָא דְמַלְכוּהִי לְפַרְעֹה מְלַךְ דְטָעוּ אֵיכְדֵין תַּמְרוּן לְפַרְעֹה בְּנֵי חַכִּימִין אֲנַחְנָא וְאַתְּ בַּר מַלְכִין דְמִלְקַדְמִין:
