Zephaniah 2:9 · JPS 1917

Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding-place of nettles, and saltpits, and a desolation, for ever; the residue of My people shall spoil them, and the remnant of My nation shall inherit them.

Who acts: I, LORD, Moab, residue, remnant · What happens: live, say, be, spoil, inherit · To what, where: people · Speech: someone speaks here

This is Zephaniah 2:9 · 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, LORD, Moab, residue), 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.
