| 20:1 | Καὶ ἤκουσεν Πασχὼρ υἱὸς Ἐμμὴρ ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ οὗτος ὖν καθεσταμένος ἡγούμενος οἴκου Κυρίου, τοῦ Ἰερεμίου προφητεύοντος τοὺς λόγους τούτους. |
| 20:2 | καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐνέβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν καταράκτην ὃς ἦν ἐν πύλῃ οἴκου ἀποτεταγμένου τοῦ ὑπερῴου, ὃς ἦν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου. |
| 20:3 | καὶ ἐξήγαγεν Πασχὼρ τὸν Ἰερεμίαν ἐκ τοῦ καταράκτου, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰερεμίας Οὐχὶ Πασχὼρ ἐκάλεσεν Κύριος τὸ ὄνομά σου ἀλλ᾿ ἢ Μέτοικον. |
| 20:4 | διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμί σε εἰς μετοικίαν σὺν πᾶσι τοῖς φίλοις σου· καὶ πεσοῦνται ἐν μαχαίρᾳ ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὄψονται· καὶ σέ καὶ πάντα Ἰουδὰ δώσω εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ μετοικιοῦσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ κατακόψουσιν ἐν μαχαίραις. |
| 20:5 | καὶ δώσω τὴν πᾶσαν ἰσχὺν τῆς πὸλεως ταύτης καὶ πάντας τοὺς πόνους αὐτῆς καὶ πάντας τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰούδα εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἄξουσιν αὐτοὺς εἰς Βαβυλῶνα. |
| 20:6 | καὶ σὺ καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου πορεύσεσθε ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ, καὶ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι ἀποθανῇ, καὶ ἐκεῖ ταφήσῃ σὺ καὶ πάντες οἱ φίλοι σου οἷς ἐπροφήτευσας αὐτοῖς ψευδῆ. |
| 20:7 | Ἠπάτησάς με, Κύριε, καὶ ἠπατήθην, ἐκράτησας καὶ ἠδυνάσθης· ἐγενόμην εἰς γέλωτα, πᾶσαν ἡμέραν διετέλεσα μυκτηριζόμενος· |
| 20:8 | ὅτι πικρῷ λόγῳ μου γελάσομαι, ἀθεσίαν καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν ἐπικαλέσομαι, ὅτι ἐγενήθη λόγος Κυρίου εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμοὶ καὶ χλευασμὸν πᾶσαν ἡμέραν μου. |
| 20:9 | καὶ εἶπα Οὐ μὴ ὀνομάσω τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, καὶ οὐ μὴ λαλήσω ἔτι ἐπὶ τῷ ἀνόματι αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς πῦρ καιόμενον φλέγον ἐν τοῖς ὀστοῖς μου, καὶ παρεῖμαι πάντοθεν καὶ οὐ δύναμαι φέρειν, |
| 20:10 | ὅτι ἤκουσα ψόγον πολλῶν συναθροιζομένων κυκλόθεν κυκλόθεν Ἐπισύστητε, καὶ ἐπισυστῶμεν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ πάντες ἄνδρες φίλοι αὐτοῦ· τηρήσατε τὴν ἐπίνοιαν αὐτοῦ εἰ ἀπατηθήσεται, καὶ δυνησόμεθα αὐτῷ καὶ λημψόμεθα τὴν ἐκδίκησιν ἡμῶν ἐξ αὐτοῦ. |
| 20:11 | ὁ δὲ κύριος μετʼ ἐμοῦ καθὼς μαχητὴς ἰσχύων· διὰ τοῦτο ἐδίωξαν καὶ νοῆσαι οὐκ ἡδύναντο· ᾐσχύνθησαν σφόδρα, ὅτι οὐκ ἐνόησαν ἀτιμίας αὐτῶν, αἳ δι᾿ αἰῶνος οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσονται. |
| 20:12 | Κύριε, δοκιμάζων δίκαια, συνίων νεφροὺς καὶ καρδίας, ἴδοιμι τὴν παρὰ σοῦ ἐκδίκησιν ἐν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι πρὸς σέ ἀπεκάλυψα τὰ ἀπολογήματά μου. |
| 20:13 | ᾄσατε τῷ κυρίῳ, αἰνέσατε αὐτῷ, ὅτι ἐξείλατο ψυχὴν πένητος ἐκ χειρὸς πονηρευομένων. |
| 20:14 | Ἐπικατάρατος ἡ ἡμέρα ἐν ᾗ ἐτέχθην ἐν αὐτῇ. ἡ ἡμέρα ἐν ᾗ ἔτεκέν με ἡ μήτηρ μου μὴ ἔστω ἐπευκτή· |
| 20:15 | ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ εὐαγγελισάμενος τῷ πατρί μου λέγων Ἐτέχθη σοι ἄρσεν, εὐφραινόμενος. |
| 20:16 | ἔστω ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος ὡς αἱ πόλεις ἃς κατέστρεψεν Κύριος ἐν θυμῷ καὶ οὐ μετεμελήθη, ἀκουσάτω κραυγῆς τὸ πραωὶ καὶ ἀλαλαγμοῦ μεσημβρίας· |
| 20:17 | ὅτι οὐκ ἀπέκτεινέν με ἐν μήτρᾳ καὶ ἐγένετό μοι ἡ μήτηρ μου τάφος μου καὶ ἡ μήτρα συλλήμψεως αἰωνίας. |
| 20:18 | ἵνα τί τοῦτο ἐξῆλθον ἐκ μήτρας τοῦ βλέπειν κόπους καὶ πόνους, καὶ διετέλεσαν ἐν αἰσχύνῃ αἱ ἡμέραι μου; |

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.
