| 3:1 | Μετὰ τοῦτο ἤνοιξεν Ἰὼβ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ κατηράσατο τὴν ἡμέραν αὐτοῦ |
| 3:2 | λέγων |
| 3:3 | Ἀπόλοιτο ἡ ἡμέρα ἐν ἧ ἐγεννήθην, καὶ ἡ νὺξ ἐκείνη ᾗ εἶπαν Ἰδοὺ ἄρσεν. |
| 3:4 | ἡ νὺξ ἐκείνη εἴη σκότος, καὶ μὴ ἀναζητήσαι αὐτὴν ὁ κύριος ἄνωθεν, μηδὲ ἔλθοι εἰς αὐτὴν φέγγος· |
| 3:5 | ἐκλάβοι δέ αὐτὴν σκότος καὶ σκιὰ θανάτου, ἐπέλθοι ἐπʼ αὐτὴν γνόφος. |
| 3:6 | καταραθείη ἡ ἡμέρα ⁶καὶ ἡ νὺξ ἐκείνη, ἀπενέγκαιτο αὐτὴν σκότος· μὴ εἴη εἰς ἡμέρας ἐνιαυτοῦ, μηδέ ἀριθμηθείη εἰς ἡμέρας μηνῶν. |
| 3:7 | ἀλλὰ ἡ νὺξ ἐκείνη εἴη) ὀδύνη, καὶ μὴ ἔλθοι ἐπʼ αὐτὴν εὐφροσύνη μηδέ χαρμονή· |
| 3:8 | ἀλλὰ καταράσαιτο αὐτὴν ὁ καταρώμενος τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην, ὁ μέλλων τὸ μέγα κῆτος χειρώσασθαι |
| 3:9 | σκοτωθείη τὰ ἄστρα τῆς νυκτὸς ἐκείνης· ὑπομείναι, καὶ εἰς φωτισμὸν μὴ ἔλθοι, καὶ μὴ ἴδοι ἑωσφόρον ἀνατέλλοντα. |
| 3:10 | ὅτι οὐ συνέκλεισεν πύλας γαστρὸς μητρός μου· ἀπήλλαξεν γὰρ ἂν πόνον ἀπὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου. |
| 3:11 | δμὰ τί γὰρ ἐν κοιλίᾳ οὐκ ἐτελεύτησας ἐκ γαστρὸς δὲ ἐξῆλθον καὶ οὐκ εὐθὺς ἀπωλόρην |
| 3:12 | ἵνα τί δὲ συνήντησάν μοι τὰ γόνατα ἵνα τί δὲ μαστοὺς ἐθήλασα |
| 3:13 | νῦν ἂν κοιμηθεὶς ἡσύχασα, ὑπνώσας δὲ ἀνεπαυσάμην |
| 3:14 | μετὰ βασιλέων βουλευτῶν γῆς. οἳ ἠγαυριῶντο ἐπὶ ξίφεσιν, |
| 3:15 | ἢ μετὰ ἀρχόντων, ὧν πολὺς ὁ χρυσός, οἳ ἔπλησαν τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν ἀργυρίου, |
| 3:16 | ἢ ὣσπερ ἔκτρωμα ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ μήτρας μητρός. ἢ ὥσπερ νήπιοι οἱ οὐκ εἶδον φῶς. |
| 3:17 | ἐκεῖ ἀσεβεῖς ἐξέκαυσαν θυμὸν ὀργῆς. ἐκεῖ ἀνεπαύσαντο κατάκοποι τῷ σώματι· |
| 3:18 | ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ οἱ αἰώνιοι οὐκ ἤκουσαν φωνὴν φορολόγου. |
| 3:19 | μικρὸς καὶ μέγας ἐκεῖ ἐστιν, καὶ θεράπων δεδοικὼς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ. |
| 3:20 | ἵνα τί γὰρ δέδοται τοῖς ἐν πικρίᾳ φῶς, ζωὴ δὲ ταῖς ἐν ὀδύναις ψυχαῖς ; |
| 3:21 | οἳ ὀμείρονται τοῦ θανάτου καὶ οὐ τυγχάνουσιν, ἀνορύσσοντες ὥσπερ θησαυρούς· |
| 3:22 | περιχαρεῖς δέ ἐγένοντο ἐὰν κατατύχωσιν. |
| 3:23 | θάνατος ἀνδρὶ ἀνάπαυμα, συνέκλεισεν γὰρ ὁ θεὸς κατʼ αὐτοῦ. |
| 3:24 | πρὸ γὰρ τῶν σίταων μου στεναγμὸς ἤκει, δακρύω δὲ ἐγὼ συνεχόμενος φόβῳ. |
| 3:25 | φόβος γὰρ ὃν ἐφρόντισα ἦλθέν μοι, καὶ ὃν ἐδεδοίκειν, συνήντησέν μοι. |
| 3:26 | οὔτε εἰρήνευσα οὔτε ἡσύχασα οὔτε ἀνεπαυσάμην, ἦλθεν δέ μοι ὀργή. |

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.
