| 12:1 | ῾γπολαβὼν δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει |
| 12:2 | Εἶτα ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἄνθρωποι· ἦ μεθʼ ὑμῶν τελευτήσει σοφία. |
| 12:3 | κἀμοὶ μὲν καρδἰα καθʼ ὑμᾶς ἐστιν. |
| 12:4 | δίκαιος γὰρ ἀνὴρ καὶ ἄμεμπτος ἐγενήθη εἰς χλεύασμα· |
| 12:5 | εἰς χρόνον γὰρ τακτὸν ἡτοίμαστο πεσεῖν ὑπὸ ἄλλων. (6) οἴκους τε αὐτοῦ ἐκπορθεῖσθαι ὑπὸ ἀνόμων. |
| 12:6 | οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ μηδεὶς πεποιθέτω πονηρὸς ὢν ἀθῷος ἔσεσθαι, ὅσοι παροργίζουσιν τὸν κύριον, ὡς οὐχὶ καὶ ἔτασις αὐτῶν ἔσται. |
| 12:7 | ἀλλὰ δὴ ἐρώτησον τετράποδα ἐάν σοι εἴπωσιν. πετεινὰ δὲ οὐρανοῦ ἐάν σοι ἀπαγγείλωσιν· |
| 12:8 | ἐκδιήγησαι γῇ ἐάν σοι φράσῃ, καὶ ἐξηγήσονταί σοι οἱ ἰχθύες τῆς θαλάσσης. |
| 12:9 | τίς οὖν οὐκ ἔγνω ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις ὅτι χεὶρ Κυρίου ἐποίησεν ταῦτα; |
| 12:10 | εἰ μὴ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ψυχὴ πάντων ζώντων καὶ πνεῦμα παντὸς ἀνθρώπου; |
| 12:11 | νοῦς μὲν γὰρ ῥήματα διακρίνει, λάρυγξ δὲ σῖτα γεύεται. |
| 12:12 | ἐν πολλῷ χρόνῳ σοφία, ἐν δὲ πολλῷ βἰῳ ἐπιστήμη. |
| 12:13 | παρʼ αὐτῷ σοφία καὶ δύναμις, αὐτῷ βουλὴ καὶ σύνεσις. |
| 12:14 | ἐὰν καταβάλῃ, τίς οἰκοδομήσει; ἐὰν κλείσῃ κατὰ ἀνθρώπων, τίς ἀνοίξει; |
| 12:15 | ἐὰν κωλύσῃ τὸ ὕδωρ, ξηρανεῖ τὴν γῆν· ἐὰν δὲ ἐπαφῇ, ἀπώλεσεν αὐτὴν καταστρέψας. |
| 12:16 | παρʼ αὐτῷ κράτος καὶ ἰσχύς, αὐτῷ ἐπιστήμη καὶ σύνεσις. |
| 12:17 | διάγων βουλευτὰς αἰχμαλώτους, κριτὰς δὲ γῆς ἐξέστησεν. |
| 12:18 | καθιζάνων βασιλεῖς ἐπὶ θρόνους, καὶ περιέδησεν ζώνῃ ὀσφύας αὐτῶν |
| 12:19 | ἐξαποστέλλων ἱερεῖς αἰχμαλώτους, δυνάστας δὲ γῆς κατέστρεψεν. |
| 12:20 | διαλλάσσων χείλη πιστῶν σύνεσιν δὲ πρεσβυτέρων ἔγνω. |
| 12:21 | ἐκχέων ἀτιμίαν ἐπʼ ἄρχοντας, ταπεινοὺς δὲ ἰάσατο. |
| 12:22 | ἀνακαλύπτων βαθέα ἐκ σκότους ἐξήγαγεν δὲ εἰς φῶς σκιὰν θανάτου. |
| 12:23 | καταστρωννύων ἔθνη καὶ καθοδηγῶν αὐτά. |
| 12:24 | διαλλάσσων καρδίας ἀρχόντων γῆς, ἐπλάνησεν δὲ αὐτοὺς ἐν ὁδῷ ἦ οὐκ ἤδεισαν· |
| 12:25 | ψηλαφήσαισαν σκότος καὶ μὴ φῶς, πλανηθείησαν δὲ ὥσπερ ὁ μεθύων. |

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.
