| 23:1 | ῾Υπολαβὼν δὲ ᾿ Ιὼβ λέγει |
| 23:2 | Καὶ δὴ οἶδα ὅτι ἐκ χειρός μου ἡ ἔλεγξίς ἐστιν, καὶ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ βαρεῖα γέγονεν ἐπʼ ἐμῷ στεναγμῷ. |
| 23:3 | τίς δʼ ἄρα γνοίη ὅτι εὕροιμι αὐτὸν καὶ ἔλθοιμι εἰς τέλος; |
| 23:4 | εἴποιμι δὲ ἐμαυτοῦ κρίμα, τὸ δὲ στόμα μου ἐμπλήσαι ἐλέγχων· |
| 23:5 | γνῴην δὲ ἰάματα ἅ μοι ἐρεῖ, αἰσθοίμην δέ τίνα μοι ἀπαγγελεῖ. |
| 23:6 | καὶ ἐν πολλῇ ἰσχύι ἐπελεύσεταί μοι· εἶτα ἐν ἀπειλῇ μοι οὐ χρήσεται. |
| 23:7 | ἀλήθεια γὰρ καὶ ἔλεγχος παρʼ αὐτοῦ, ἐξαγάγοι δὲ εἰς τέλος τὸ κρίμα μου. |
| 23:8 | εἰς γὰρ πρῶτα πορεύσομαι, καὶ οὐκ ἔτι εἰμί, τὰ δὲ ἐπʼ ἐσχάτοις, τί οἶδα ; |
| 23:9 | ἀριστερὰ ποιήσαντος αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ κατέσχον, περιβαλεῖ δεξιὰ καὶ οὐκ ὄψομαι. |
| 23:10 | οἶδεν γὰρ ἤδη ὁδόν μου, διέκρινεν δέ με ὥσπερ τὸ χρυσίον. |
| 23:11 | ἐξελεύσομαι δὲ ἐν ἐντάλμασιν αὐτοῦ, ὁδοὺς γὰρ αὐτοῦ ἐφύλαξα, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκκλίνω· |
| 23:12 | ἀπὸ ἐνταλμάτων αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ μὴ παρέλθω, ἐν δὲ κόλπῳ μου ἔκρυψα ῥ;γνατα αὐτοῦ. |
| 23:13 | εἰ δὲ καὶ αὐτὸς ἔκρινεν οὕτως, τίς ἐστιν ὁ ἀντειπὼν αὐτῷ ; ὃ γὰρ αὐτὸς ἠθέλησεν, καὶ ἐποίησεν. |
| 23:14 | διὰ τοῦτο ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ἐσπούδακα· νουθετούμενος δὲ ἐφρόντισα αὐτοῦ. |
| 23:15 | ἐπὶ τούτῳ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ κατασπουδασθῶ· κατανοήσω, καὶ πτοηθήσομαι ἐξ αὐτοῦ. |
| 23:16 | Κύριος δὲ ἐμαλάκυνεν τὴν καρδίαν μου, ὁ δὲ παντοκράτωρ ἐσπούδασέν με. |
| 23:17 | οὐ γὰρ ᾔδειν ὅτι ἐπελεύσεταί μοι σκότος, πρὸ προσώπου δέ μου ἐκάλυψεν γνόφος. |

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.
