| 14:1 | βροτὸς γὰρ γεννητὸς γυναικὸς ὀλιγόβιος καὶ πλήρης ἀργῆς, |
| 14:2 | ἤ ὥσπερ ἄνθος ἀνθῆσαν ἐξέπεσεν, ἀπέδρα δὲ ὥσπερ σκιὰ καὶ οὐ μὴ στῇ. |
| 14:3 | οὐχὶ καὶ τούτου λόγον ἐποιήσω, καὶ τούτου ἐποίησας εἰσελθῖν ἐν κρίματι ἐνώπιόν σου |
| 14:4 | τίς γὰρ καθαρὸς ἔσται ἀπὸ ῥύπου ; ἀλλ᾿ οὐθεἰς, |
| 14:5 | ἐὰν καὶ μία ἡμέρα ὁ βίος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· ἀριθμητοὶ δέ μῆνες αὐτοῦ παρʼ αὐτοῦ, εἰς χρόνον ἔθου καὶ οὐ μὴ ὑπερβῇ. |
| 14:6 | ἀπόστα ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἳνα ἡσυχάσῃ καὶ εὐδοκήση τὸν βίον, ὥσπερ ὁ μισθωτός. ἔστιν γὰρ δένδρῳ ἐλπίς· ἐὰν γὰρ ἐκκοπῇ, ἔτι ἐπανθήσει, καὶ ὁ ῤάδαμνος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἐκλείπῃ· |
| 14:8 | ἐὰν γὰρ γηράσῃ ἐν γῇ ἡ ῥίζα αὐτοῦ, ἐν δὲ πέτρᾳ τελευτήσῃ τὸ στέλεχος αὐτοῦ, |
| 14:9 | ἀπὸ ὀσμῆς ὕδατος ἀνθήσει, ποιήσει δὲ θερισμὸν ὥσπερ νεόφυτον. |
| 14:10 | ἀνήρ δὲ τελευτήσας ᾤχετο, πεσὼν δὲ βροτὸς οὐκέτι ἐστίν. |
| 14:11 | χρόνῳ γὰρ σπανίζεται θάλασσα, ποταμὸς δὲ ἐρημωθεὶς ἐξηράνθη. |
| 14:12 | ἄνθρωπος δὲ κοιμηθεὶς οὐ μὴ ἀναστῇ ἕως ἂν ὁ οὐρανὸς οὐ μὴ συνραφῇ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξυπνισθήσονται ἐξ ὕπνου αὐτῶν |
| 14:13 | εἰ γὰρ ὄφελον ἐν ᾄδῃ με ἐφύλαξας. ἔκρυψας δέ με ἕως ἂν παύσηταί σου ἡ ὀργή. καὶ τάξῃ μοι χρόνον ἐν ᾧ μνείαν μου ποιήσῃ. |
| 14:14 | ἐὰν γὰρ ἀποθάνῃ ἄνθρωπος. ζήσεται. συντελέσας ἡμέρας τοῦ βίου αὐτοῦ· ὑπομενῶ ἕως πάλιν γένωμαι. |
| 14:15 | εἶτα καλέσεις, ἐγὼ δέ σοι ὑπακούσομαι. τὰ δὲ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου μὴ ἀποποιοῦ. |
| 14:16 | ἠρίθμησας δέ μου τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα, καὶ οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ σε οὐδὲν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου· |
| 14:17 | ἐσφράγισας δέ μου τὰς ἀνομίας ἐν βαλλαντίῳ, ἐπεσημήνω δὲ εἰ τι ἄκων παρέβην. |
| 14:18 | καὶ πλὴν ὄρος πίπτον διαπεσεῖται, καὶ πέτρα παλαιωθήσεται ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς |
| 14:19 | λίθους ἐλέαναν ὕδατα, καὶ κατέκλυσεν ὕδατα ὕπτια τοῦ χώματος τῆς γῆς· καὶ ὑπομονὴν ἀνθρώπου ἀπώλεσας. |
| 14:20 | ὦσας αὐτὸν εἰς τέλος, καὶ ᾤχετο· ἐπέστησας αὐτῷ τὸ πρόσωπον, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλας· |
| 14:21 | πολλῶν δὲ γενομένων τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ οὐκ οἶδεν, ἐὸν δὲ ὀλίγοι γένωνται, οὐκ ἐπίσταται· |
| 14:22 | ἀλλ᾿ ἤ αἱ σάρκες αὐτοῦ ἤλγησαν, ἡ δὲ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπένθησεν. |

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.
