| 4:1 | Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλειφὰς ὁ Θαιμανείτης λέγει |
| 4:2 | Μὴ πολλάκις σοι λελάληται ἐν κόπῳ; ἰσχὺν δὲ όημάτων σου τίς ὑποίσεις |
| 4:3 | εἰ γὰρ σὺ ἐνουθέτησας πολλούς, καὶ χεῖρας ἀσθενοῦς παρεκάλεσας, |
| 4:4 | ἀσθενοῦντάς τε ἐξανέστησας ῥήμασιν, γόνασίν τε ἀδυνατοῦσιν θάρσος περιέθηκας· |
| 4:5 | ωῦν δὲ ἥκει ἐπὶ σέ πόνος καὶ ἥψατό σου, σὺ ἐσπούδασας.5 |
| 4:6 | πότερον οὐχ ὁ φόβος σού ἐστιν ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ, καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς σου καὶ ἡ κακία τῆς ὁδοῦ σου; |
| 4:7 | μνήσθητι οὖν τίς καθαρὸς ὧν ἀπώλετο, ἢ πότε ἀληθινοὶ ὁλόριζοι ἀπώλοντο |
| 4:8 | καθʼ ὃν τρόπον ἴδον τοὺς ἀροτριῶντας τὰ ἄτοπα· οἱ δὲ σπείροντες αὐτὰ ὀδύνας θεριοῦσιν ἑαυτοῖς. |
| 4:9 | ἀπὸ προστάγματος Κυρίου ἀπολοῦνται, ἀπὸ δὲ πνεύματος ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ ἀφανισθήσονται. |
| 4:10 | σθένος λέοντος, φωνὴ δὲ λεαίνης, γαυρίαμα δέ δρακόντων ἐσβέσθη. |
| 4:11 | μυρμηκολέων ὤλετο· παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν βοράν, σκύμνοι δὲ λεόντων ἔλιπον ἀλλήλους. |
| 4:12 | εἰ δέ τι ῥῆμα ἀληθινὸν ἐγεγόνει ἐν λόγοις σου, οὐθὲν ἄν σοι τούτων κακὸν ἀπήντησεν. πότερον οὐ δέξεταί μου τὸ οὖς ἐξαίσια παρʼ αὐτοῦ |
| 4:13 | φόβος δὲ καὶ ἠχὼ νυκτερινή. ἐπιπίπτων φόβος ἐπʼ ἀνθρώπους, |
| 4:14 | φρίκη μοι συνήντησεν καὶ τρόμος, καὶ μεγάλως μου τὰ ὀστᾶ διέσεσεν, |
| 4:15 | καὶ πνεῦμα ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπῆλθεν, ἔφριξαν δέ μου τρίχες καὶ σάρκες. |
| 4:16 | ἀνέστην, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνων· ἴδον, καὶ οὐκ ἦν μορφὴ πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου. ἀλλ᾿ ἣ αδραν καὶ φωνὴν ἤκουον |
| 4:17 | Τί γάρ ; μὴ καθαρὸς ἔσται βροτὸς ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου ἣ ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ ἄμεμπτος ἀνήρ; |
| 4:18 | εἰ κατὰ παίδων αὐτοῦ οὐ πιστεύει, κατὰ δὲ ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ σκολιόν τι ἐπενόησεν· |
| 4:19 | τοὺς δὲ κατοικοῦντας οἰκίας πηλίνας, ἐξ ὦν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ πηλοῦ ἐσμεν, ἔπαισεν αὑτοὺς σητὸς τρόπον. |
| 4:20 | καὶ ἀπὸ πρωίθεν μέχρι ἑσπέρας οὐκέτι εἰσίν, παρὰ τὸ μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς ἑαυτοῖς βοηθῆσαι ἀπώλοντο. |
| 4:21 | ἐνεφύσησεν γὰρ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐξηράνθησαν, ἀπώλοντο παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν αὐτοὺς σοφίαν. |

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.
