2:2	Καὶ εἶπεν Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἐμνήσθην ἐλέους νεότητός σου καὶ ἀγάπης τελειώσεως αὐτοῦ, ἐξακολουθῆσαί σε τῷ ἁγίῳ Ἰσραήλ, λέγει Κύριος.
2:3	ἅγιος Ἰσραὴλ τῷ κυρίῳ, ἀρχὴ γενημάτων αὐτοῦ· πάντες οἱ ἔσθοντες αὐτὸν πλημμελήσουσιν, κακὰ ἥξει ἐπʼ αὐτούς. φησὶν Κύριος.
2:4	Ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου, οἶκος Ἰαωὼβ καὶ πᾶσα πατριὰ οἴκου Ἰσραήλ.
2:5	τάδε λέγει Κύριος Τί εὕροσαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν ἐν ἐμοὶ πλημμέλημα, ὅτι ἀπέστησαν μακρὰν ἀπʼ ῤμοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω τῶν ματαίων καὶ ἐματαιώθησαν; καὶ οὐκ εἶπαν Ποῦ ἐστιν Κύριος ὁ ἀναγαγὼν ἡμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ὁ καθοδηγήσας ἡμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμφῳ ἐν γῇ ἀπείρῳ καὶ ἀβάτῳ, ἐν γῇ ἀνύδρῳ καὶ ἀκάρπῳ, ἐν γῇ ἐν ᾗ οὐ διώδευσεν ἐν αὐτῇ οὐθὲν καὶ οὐ κατῴκησεν ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖ;
2:7	καὶ ἤγαγον ὑμῆς εἰς τὸν Κάρμηλον, τοῦ φαγεῖν ὑμᾶς τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἀγαθὰ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἰσήλθατε καὶ ἐμιάνατε τὴν γῆν μου, καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν μου ἔθεσθε εἰς βδέλυγμα.
2:8	οἱ ἱερεῖς οὐκ εἶπαν Ποῦ ἐστιν Κύριος; καὶ οἱ ἀντεχόμενοι τοῦ νόμου οὐκ ἠπίσταντό με, καὶ οἱ ποιμένες ἠσέβουν εἰς ἐμέ, καὶ οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον τῇ Βάαλ καὶ ὀπίσω ἀνωφελοῦς ἐπορεύθησαν.
2:9	δὰ τοῦτο ἔτι κριθήσομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν υἱῶν ὑμῶν κριθήσομαι.
2:10	διότι ἔλθετε εἰς νήσους Χεττιεὶμ καὶ ἴδιτε, καὶ εἰς Κηδιὶρ ἀποστείλατε καὶ νοήσατε σφόδρα, καὶ ἴδετε εἰ γέγονεν τοιαῦτα,
2:11	εἰ ἀλλάξονται ἔθνη θεοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ οὗτοι οὐκ εἰσὶν θεοί ὁ δὲ λαός μου ἠλλάξατο τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, ἐξ ἧς οὐκ ὠφεληθήσονται.
2:12	ἐξέστη ὁ οὐρανὸς ἐπὶ τούτῳ κρῖ ἔφριξεν ἐπὶ πλεῖον σφόδρα, λέγει Κύριος.
2:13	ὅτι δύο καὶ πονηρὰ ἐποίησεν ὁ λαός μου· ἐμὲ ἐνατέλιπον, πηγὴν ὕδατος ζωῆς, καὶ ὥρυξαν ἑαυτοῖς λάκκους συντετριμμένους οἱ οὐ δυνήσονται ὕδωρ συνέχειν.
2:14	μὴ δοῦλός ἐστιν Ἰσραήλ, ἢ οἰκογενής ἐστιν; διὰ τί εἰς προνομὴν ἐγένετο;
2:15	ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ὠρύοντο λέοντες καὶ ἔδωκαν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν, οἳ ἔταξαν τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ εἰς ἔρημον, καὶ αἱ πόλεις αὐτοῦ κατεσκάφησαν παρὰ τὸ μὴ κατοικεῖσθαι
2:16	καὶ υἱοὶ Μέμφεως καὶ Ταφωὰς ἔγνωσάν σε καὶ κατέπαιζόν σου· οὐχὶ ταῦτα ἐποίησέν σοι τὸ καταλιπεῖν σε ἐμέ;
2:17	λέγει Κύριος ὁ θεός σου.
2:18	καὶ νῖν τί σοι καὶ τῇ ὁδῷ Αἰγύπτου τοῦ πιεῖν ὕδωρ Γηὼν; καὶ τί σοι καὶ τῇ ὁδῷ Ἀσσυρίων τοῦ πιεῖν ὕδωρ ποταμῶν;
2:19	παιδεύσει σε ἡ ἀποστασία σου, καὶ ἡ κακία σου ἐλέγξει σε· καὶ γνῶθι καὶ ἴδε ὅτι πικρόν σοι τὸ καταλιπεῖν σε ἐμέ, λέγει Κύριος ὁ θεός σου· καὶ οὐκ εὐδόκησα ἐπὶ σοί, λέγει Κύριος ὁ θεός σου.
2:20	ὅτι ἀπʼ αἰῶνος συνέτριψας τὸν ζυγόν σου· διέσπασας τοὺς δεσμοὺς σου, καὶ εἶπας Οὐ δουλεύσω σοι, ἀλλὰ πορεύσομαι ἐπὶ πᾶν βουνὸν ὑψηλὸν καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου κατασκίου, ἐκεῖ διαχυθήσομαι ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ μου.
2:21	ἐγὼ δὲ ἐφύτευσά σε ἄμπελον καρποφόρον πᾶσαν ἀληθινήν· πῶς ἐστράφης εἰς πικρίαν, ἡ ἄμπελος ἡ ἀλλοτρία;
2:22	ἐὰν ἀποπλύνῃς ἐν νίτρῳ καὶ πληθύνῆς σεαυτῇ ποίαν, κεκηλίδωσαι ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις σου ἐναντίον ἐμοῖ, λέγει Κύρος.
2:23	πῶς ἐρεῖς Οὐκ ἐμιάνθην καὶ ὀπίσω τῆς Βάαλ οὐκ ἐπορεύθην; ἴδε τὰς ὁδοὺς σου ἐν τῷ πολυανδρίῳ, καὶ γνῶθι τί ἐποίησας. ὀψὲ φωνὴ αὐτῆς ὠλόλυξεν,
2:24	τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτἢς ἐπλάτυνεν ἐφʼ ὕδατα ἐρήμου, ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις ψυχῆς αὐτῆς ἐπνευματοφορεῖτο, παρεδόθη· τίς ἐπιστρέψει αὐτήν; πάντες οἱ ζητοῦντες αὐτὴν οὐ κοπιάσουσιν, ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει αὐτῆς εὑρήσουσιν αὐτήν,
2:25	ἀπόστρεψον τὸν πόδα σου ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ τραχείας, καὶ τὸν φάρυγγά σου ἀπὸ δίψους. ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Ἀνδριοῦμαι· ὅτι ἠγαπήκει ἀλλοτρίους καὶ ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἐπορεύετο.
2:26	ὡς αἰσχύνη κλέπτου ὅταν ἁλῷ, οὕτως αἰσχυνθήσονται οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ προφῆται αὐτῶν.
2:27	τῷ ξύλῳ εἶπαν ὕτι Πατήρ μου εἶ σύ, καὶ τῷ λίθῳ Σὺ ἐγέννησάς με· καὶ ἔστρεψαν ἐπʼ ἐμέ νῶτα καὶ οὐ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τῶν κακῶν αὐτῶν ἐροῦσιν Ἀνάστα καὶ σῶσον ἡμᾶς.
2:28	καὶ ποῦ εἰσιν οἱ θεοί σου οὓς ἐποίησας σεαυτῷ; εἰ ἀναστήσονται καὶ σώσουσιν ἐν καιρῷ τῆς κακώσεως σου; ὅτι κατʼ ἀριθμὸν τῶν πόλεών σου ἦσαν θεοί σου, Ἰούδα, καὶ κατ᾿ ἀριθμὸν διόδων τῆς Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἔθυον τῇ Βάαλ.
2:29	Ἰούδα, τί λαλεῖτε πρὸς μέ; πάντες ὑμεῖς ἠσεβήσατε, καὶ πάντες ὑμεῖς ἠνομήσατε εἰς ἐμέ, λέγει Κύριος.
2:30	μάτην ἐπάταξα τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν, παιδείαν οὐκ ἐδέξασθε· μάχαιρα κατέφαγεν τοὺς προφήτας ὑμῶν ὡς λέων ὀλεθρεύων, καὶ οὐκ ἐφοβήθητε.
2:31	ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Μὴ ἔρημος ἐγενόμην τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἡ γῆ κεχερσωμένη; διὰ τί εἶπεν ὁ λαός μου Οὐ κυριευθησόμεθα, καὶ οὐχ ἥξομεν πρὸς σὲ ἔτι;
2:32	μὴ ἐπιλήσεται νύμφη τὸν κόσμον αὐτῆς, καὶ παρθένος τὴν στηθοδεσμίδα αὐτῆς; ὁ δὲ λαός μου ἐπελάθετό μου ἡμέρας ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός.
2:33	τί ἔτι καλὸν ἐπιτηδεύσεις ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου τοῦ ζητῆσαι ἀγάπησιν οὐχ οὕτως· ἀλλὰ καὶ σὺ ἐπονηρεύσω τοῦ μιᾶναι τὰς ὁδούς σου,
2:34	καὶ ἐν ταῖς χερσίν σου εὑρέθησαν αἵματα ψυχῶν ἀθᾠων· οὐκ ἐν διορύγμασιν εὗρον αὐτοὺς ἀλλʼ ἐπὶ πάσῃ δρυί
2:35	καὶ εἶπας Ἀθῷός εἰμι, ἀλλὰ ἀποστραφήτω ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ. ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ κρίνομαι πρὸς σέ, ἐν τῷ λέγειν σε Οὐχ ἥμαρτον·
2:36	ὅτι κατεφρόνησας σφόδρα τοῦ δευτερῶσαι τὰς ὁδοὺς σου; καὶ ἀπὸ Αἰγύπτου καταισχυνθήσῃ καθὼς καταισχυνθης ἀπὸ Ἀσσούρ, ὅτι καὶ ἐντεῦθεν ἐξελεύσῃ, καὶ αἱ χεῖρές σου ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς σου· ὅτι ἀπώσατο Κύριος τὴν ἐλπίδα σου, καὶ οὐκ εὐοδωθήσῃ ἐν αὐτῇ.

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.

L0.5 transliteration
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).

L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.

L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.

English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
