| 59:1 | Mὴ οὐκ ἰσχύει ἦ χεὶρ Κυρίου τοῦ σῶσαι; ἢ ἐβάρυνεν τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ εἰσακοῦσαι; |
| 59:2 | ἀλλὰ τὸ. ἁμαρτήματα ὑμῶν διιστῶσιν ἀνὰ, μέσον ὑμῶν < καὶ ἀνὰ, μέσον τοῦ θεοῦ θεοῦ > , τὰς ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν ἀπέστρεψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὑτοῦ ἀφ’ ὑμῶν τοῦ μὴ ἐλεῆσαι. |
| 59:3 | αἱ γὰρ χεῖρες ὑμῶν μεμολυμμέναι αἵματι, καὶ οἷ δάκτυλοι ὑμῶν ἐν ἁμαρτίαις, τὰ δὲ χείλη ὑμῶν ἐλάλησεν ἀνομίαν, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα ὑμῶν ἀδικίαν μελετᾷ. |
| 59:4 | οὐδεὶς λαλεῖ δίκαια, οὐδὲ ἔστιν κρίσις ἀληθινή· πεποίθασιν ἐπὶ ματαίοις καὶ λαλοῦσιν κενά, ὅτι κύουσιν πόνον καὶ τίκτουσιν ἀνομίαν. |
| 59:5 | ὠὰ ἀσπίδων ἔρρηξαν, καὶ ἱστὸν ἀράχνης ὑφαίνουσιν, καὶ ὃ μέλλων τῶν ὠῶν αὐτῶν φαγεῖν, συντρίψας οὔριον εὗρεν, καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ βασιλίσκος. |
| 59:6 | ὁ ἰστὸς αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔσται εἷς ἱμάτιον, οὐδὲ μὴ περιβάλωνται ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῶν· τὰ γὰρ ἔργα αὐτῶν ἔργα ἀνομίας. |
| 59:7 | οἱ δὲ πόδες αὐτῶν ἐπὶ πονηρίαν τρέχουσιν, ταχινοὶ ἐκχέαι αἷμα, καὶ οἶ διαλογισμοὶ αὐτῶν διαλογισμοὶ ἀφρόνων· σύντριμμα καὶ ταλαιπωρία ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν, |
| 59:8 | καὶ ὁδὸν εἰρήνης οὐκ ἔγνωσαν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν κρίσις ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν· αἱ γὰρ τρίβοι αὐτῶν διεστραμμέναι ἅς διοδεύουσιν, καὶ οὒκ οἴδασιν εἰρήνην. |
| 59:9 | διὰ τοῦτο ἀπέστη ἦ κρίσις ἀπ’ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὗ μὴ καταλάβῃ αὐτοὺς δικαιοσύνη· ὑπομεινάντων < αὐτῶν > φῶς αὐτοῖς σκότος, μείναντες αὐγὴν ἐν ἀωρίᾳ περιεπάτησαν. |
| 59:10 | ψηλαφήσουσιν ὡς τυφλοὶ τοῖχον, καὶ ὡς οὐχ ὑπαρχόντων ὀφθαλμῶν ψηλαφήσουσιν, καὶ πεσοῦνται ἐν μεσημβρίᾳ ὡς ἐν μεσονυκτίῳ, ὡς ἀποθνήσκοντες στενάξουσιν, |
| 59:11 | ὡς ἄρκος καὶ ὡς περιστερὰ ἅμα πορεύσονται· ἀνεμείναμεν κρίσιν καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν· σωτηρία μακρὰν ἀφέστηκεν ἀφ’ ἡμῶν. |
| 59:12 | πολλὴ γὰρ ἡμῶν ἡ ἀνομία ἐναντίον σου, καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἡμῶν ἀντέστησαν ἡμῖν· αἱ γὰρ ἀνομίαι ἡμῶν ἐν ἡμῖν, καὶ τὸ. ἀδικήματα ἡμῶν ἔγνωμεν· |
| 59:13 | ἠσεβήσαμεν καὶ ἐψευσάμεθα, καὶ ἀπέστημεν ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐλαλήσαμεν ἄδικα καὶ ἠπειθήσαμεν, ἐκύομεν καὶ ἐμελετήσαμεν ἀπὸ καρδίας ἡμῶν λόγους ἀδίκους, |
| 59:14 | καὶ ἀπεστήσαμεν ὀπίσω τὴν κρίσιν, καὶ ἡ δικαιοσύνη μακρὰν ἀφέστηκεν ἀφ᾿ ὅτι καταναλώθη ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν ἡ ἀλήθεια, καὶ δι᾿ εὐθείας οὐκ ἐδύναντο διελθεῖν. |
| 59:15 | καὶ ἡ ἀληθεία ἦρται, καὶ μετέστησαν τὴν διάνοιαν αὐτῶν τοῦ συνιέναι· καὶ εἶδεν Κύριος, καὶ οὐκ ἤρεσεν αὐτῷ, ὅτι οὐκ ἦν κρίσις. |
| 59:16 | καὶ ἴδεν καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀνήρ, καὶ κατενόησεν καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀντιλημψόμενος, καὶ ἠμύνατο αὐτοὺς τῷ βραχίονι αὐτοῦ καὶ τῇ ἐλεημοσύνη ἐστηρίσατο. |
| 59:17 | καὶ ἐνεδύσατο δικαιοσύνην ὡς θώρακα, καὶ περιέθετο περικεφαλαίαν σωτηρίου ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς, καὶ περιεβάλετο ἱμάτιον ἐκδικήσεως, καὶ τὸ περιβόλαιον |
| 59:18 | ὡς ἀνταποδώσων ἀνταπόδοσιν ὄνειδος τοῖς ὑπεναντίοις. |
| 59:19 | καὶ φοβηθήσονται οἱ ἀπὸ δυσμῶν τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, καὶ οἱ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου τὰ ὄνομα το ἔνδοξον· ἥξει γὰρ ὡς ποταμὸς βίαιος ἡ ὀργὴ παρὰ. Κυρίου, ἥξει μετὰ θυμοῦ. |
| 59:20 | καὶ ἥξει ἕνεκεν Σιὼν ὁ ῥυόμενος, καὶ ἀποστρέψει ἀσεβείας ἀπὸ Ἰακώβ. |
| 59:21 | καὶ αὕτη αὐτοῖς ἡ παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ διαθήκη, εἶπεν Κύριος· τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἐμὸν ὅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ σοί, καὶ τὰ ῥήματα ἅ ἔδωκα εἷς τὸ στόμα σου, οὐ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ σπέρματός σου· εἶπεν Κύριος ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ εἷς τὸν αἰῶνα. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
