| 16:1 | ῾γπολαβὼν δὲ ᾿Ιὼβ λέγει |
| 16:2 | Ἀκήκοα τοιαῦτα πολλά· παρακλήτοπες κακῶν πάντες. |
| 16:3 | τί γάρ; μὴ τάξις ἐσὶν ῥήμασιν πνεύματος; ἤ τί παρακλήτορες κακῶν πάντες. ἤ τί παρενοχλήσει σοι ὅτι ἀποκρίνῃ; |
| 16:4 | κἀγὼ καθʼ ὑμᾶς λαλήσω. εἰ ὑπέκειτό γε ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν ἀντὶ τῆς ἐμῆς. |
| 16:5 | εἶτ᾿ ἐναλοῦμαι ὑμῖν ῥήμασιν, κινήσω δὲ καθʼ ὑμῶν κεφαλήν. |
| 16:6 | εἴη δὲ ἰσχὺς ἐν τῷ στόματί μου. κίνησιν δέ χειλέων οὐ φείσομαι. |
| 16:7 | ἐὰν γὰρ λαλήσω, οὐκ ἀλγήσω τὸ τραῦμα· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ σιωπήσω, τί ἔλαττον τρωθήσομαι; |
| 16:8 | νῦυ δὲ κατάκοπόν με πεποίηκεν, μωρόν, σεσηπότα, |
| 16:9 | καὶ ἐπελάβου μου· ⁹εἰς μαρτύριον ἐγενήθη· καὶ ἀνέστη ἐν ἐμοὶ τὸ ψεῦδός μου, κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου ἀνταπεκρίθη. |
| 16:10 | ὀργῇ χρησάμενος κατέβαλέν με, ἔβρυξεν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ τοὺς ὀδόντας. βέλη πειρατῶν αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ ἔπεσεν. |
| 16:11 | ἀκίσιν ὀφθαλμῶν ἐνήλατο, ὀξεῖ ἔπαισέν με εἰς τὰ γόνατα, ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ κατέδραμον ἐπʼ ἐμοί. |
| 16:12 | παρέδωκεν γάρ με ὁ κύριος εἰς χεῖρας ἀδίκου. ἐπὶ δὲ ἀσεβέσιν ἔρριψέν με. |
| 16:13 | εἰρηνεύοντα διεσκέδασέν με· λαβὠν με τῆς κόμης διέτιλεν, κατέστησέν με ὥσπερ σκοπόν. |
| 16:14 | ἐκύκλωσάν με λόγχαις βάλλοντες εἰς νεφρούς μου, οὐ φειδόμενοι ἐξέχεαν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν χολήν μου· |
| 16:15 | κατέβαλόν με πτῶμα ἐπὶ πτώματι, ἔδραμον πρὸς μέ δυνάμενοι |
| 16:16 | σάκκον ἔραψαν ἐπὶ βύρσης μου. τὸ δὲ σθένος μου ἐν γῇ ἐσβέσθη. |
| 16:17 | ἡ γαστήρ μου συνκέκαυται ἀπὸ κλαυθμοῦ, ἐπὶ δὲ βλεφάροις μου σκιά· |
| 16:18 | ἄδικον δὲ οὐδὲν ἦν ἐν χερσίν μου, εὐχὴ δέ μου καθαρά. |
| 16:19 | γῆ, μὴ ἐπικαλύψῃς ἐφʼ αἵματι τῆς σαρκός μου. μηδὲ εἵη τόπος τῇ κραυγῇ μου. |
| 16:20 | καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἐν οὐρανοῖς ὁ μάρτυς μου, ὁ δὲ συνίστωρ μου ἐν ὑψίστοις. |
| 16:21 | ἀφίκοιτό μου ἡ δέησις πρὸς Κύριον, ἔναντι δὲ αὐτοῦ στάζοι μου ὁ ὀφθαλμός. |
| 16:22 | εἴη δὲ ἔλεγχος ἀνδρὶ ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ. |
| 16:23 | ἔτη δὲ ἀριθμητὰ ἥκασιν, ὁδῷ δὲ ᾖ οὐκ ἐπαναστραφήσομαι πορεύσομαι. |
| 16:35 | ἀποβήσεται δὲ αὐτῷ κενά, ἡ δὲ κοιλία αὐτοῦ ὑποίσει δόλον. |

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.
