2 Kings 8:12 · JPS 1917

And Hazael said: 'Why weepeth my lord?' And he answered: 'Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child.'

Who acts: Hazael, I, thou · What happens: say, weep, answer, know, do, set · To what, where: lord, evil, strongholds, fire, young men, little ones · Speech: someone speaks here

This is 2 Kings 8:12 · 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 (Hazael, I, thou), 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.
