Jeremiah 12:1 יִרְמְיָהוּ

Who acts: I, way · What happens: be, reason, prosper · To what, where: all

This is Jeremiah 12:1 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 — I, way — and what happens in the verse to all, 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 52 chapters of Jeremiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

צַדִּ֤יק אַתָּה֙ יְהוָ֔ה כִּ֥י אָרִ֖יב אֵלֶ֑יךָ אַ֤ךְ מִשְׁפָּטִים֙ אֲדַבֵּ֣ר אוֹתָ֔ךְ מַדּ֗וּעַ דֶּ֤רֶךְ רְשָׁעִים֙ צָלֵ֔חָה שָׁל֖וּ כָּל־בֹּ֥גְדֵי בָֽגֶד׃

Right wouldest Thou be, O LORD, were I to contend with Thee, yet will I reason with Thee: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? Wherefore are all they secure that deal very treacherously?

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

זַכַּאי אַתְּ יְיָ מִלְמֵידַן לָקֳבֵל פִּתְגָמָךְ בְּרַם שְׁאֵילַת דִינִין אֲנָא שָׁאֵיל מִן קֳדָמָךְ מַה דֵין אוֹרְחַת רַשִׁיעַיָא מַצְלְחָא שְׁלַן שְׁלֵיוָא כָּל מְשַׁקְרֵי שְׁקָר:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.
