| 7:1 | πότερον οὐχὶ πειρατήριόυ ἐστιν ὁ βἰος ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ὥσπερ μισθίου αὐθημερινοῦ ἡ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ; |
| 7:2 | ἢ ὥσπερ θεράπων δεδοικὼς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ καὶ τετευχὼς σκιᾶς, ἢ ὤσπερ μισθωτὸς ἀναμένων τὸν μισθὸν αὐτοῦ; |
| 7:3 | οὕτως κἀγὼ ὑπέμεινα μῆνας κενούς, νύκτες δὲ ὀδυνῶν δεδομέναι μοί εἰσιν. |
| 7:4 | ἐὰν κοιμηθῶ, λέγω Πότε ἡμέρα; ὧς δʼ ἂν ἀναστῶ, πάλιν Πότε ἐσπέρας πλήρης δέ γίνομαι ὀδυνῶν ἀπὸ ἑσπέρας ἕως πρωί. |
| 7:5 | φύρεται δέ μου τὸ σῶμα ἐν σαπρίᾳ σκωλήκων, τήκω δὲ βώλακας γῆς ἀπὸ ἰχῶρος ξύων. |
| 7:6 | ὁ δὲ βίος μού ἐστιν ἐλαφρώτερος λαλιᾶς, ἀπόλωλεν δὲ ἐν κενῇ ἐλπίδι. |
| 7:7 | μνήσθητι οὖν ὅτι πνεῦμά μου ἡ ζωή, καὶ οὐκ ἔτι ἐπανελεύσεται ὀφθαλμός μου ἰδεῖν ἀγαθόν. |
| 7:8 | οὐ περιβλέψεταί με ὀφθαλμὸς ὁρῶντός με· oἱ ὀφθαλμοοί σου ἐν ἐμοί, καὶ οὐκ ἔτι εἰμί, |
| 7:9 | ὥσπερ νέφος ἀποκαθαρθὲν ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ. ἐὰν γὰρ ἄνθρωπος καταβῇ εἰς ᾅ δην, οὐκ ἔτι μὴ ἀναβῇ, |
| 7:10 | οὐδ᾿ οὐ μὴ ἐπιστρέψῃ εἰς τὸν ἴδιον οἶκον, οὐδʼ οὐ μὴ ἐπιγνῷ αὐτὸν ἔτι ὁ τόπος αὐτοῦ. |
| 7:11 | ἀτὰρ οὖν οὐδὲ ἐγὼ φείσομαι τῷ στόματί μου. λαλήσω ἐν ἀνάγκῃ ὤν, ἀνοίξω πικρίαν ψυχῆς μου συνεχόμενος. |
| 7:12 | πότερον θάλασσά εἰμι ἢ δράκων, ὅτι κατέταξας ἐπʼ ἐμέ φυλακήν |
| 7:13 | εἶπα ὅτι Μαρακαλέσει με ἡ κλίνη μου. ἀνοίσω δέ πρὸς ἐμαυτὸν ἰδἰᾳ λόγον τῇ κοίτῃ μου· |
| 7:14 | ἐκφοβεῖς με ἐνυπνίοις, καὶ ἐν ὁράμασίν με καταπλήσσεις. ἀπαλλάξεις ἀπὸ πνεύματός μου τὴν ψυχήν μου. ἀπὸ δὲ θανάτου τὰ ὀστᾶ μου. |
| 7:16 | οὐ γὰρ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ζήσομαι, ἴνα μακροθυμήσωἀπόστα ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, κενὸς γάρ μου ὁ βἰος. |
| 7:17 | τί γάρ ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὅτι ἐμεγάλυνας αὐτόν; ἢ ὅτι προσέχεις τὸν νοῦν εἰς αὐτόν; |
| 7:18 | ἢ ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ ποιήσῃ ἕως τὸ πρωί, καὶ εἰς ἀνάπαυσιν αὐτὸν κρινεῖς; |
| 7:19 | ἔως τἰνος οὐκ ἐᾷς με οὐδὲ προίῃ με, ἕως ἂν καταπίω τὸν πτύελόν μου ἐν ὀδύνῃς |
| 7:20 | εἰ ἐγὼ ἥμαρτον, τί δυνήσομαι πρᾶξαι, ὁ ἐπιστάμενος τὸν νοῦν τῶν ἀνθρώπων; διὰ τἰ ἔθου με κατεντευκτὴν σου, εἱμὶ δὲ ἐπὶ σοὶ φορτίον; |
| 7:21 | καὶ διὰ τί οὐκ ἐποιαὴσαν τῆς ἀνομίας μου λήθην καὶ καθαρμσμὸν τῆς ἁμαρτίὼς μου; νυνὶ δὲ εἰς γῆν ἀπελεύσομαι, ὀρθρίζων δὲ οὐκ ἔτι εἰμί. |

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.
