| 29:1 | Ἔτι δὲ προσθεὶς Ἰὼβ εἶπεν τῷ προοιμίῳ |
| 29:2 | Τίς ἄν με θείη κατὰ μῆνα ἔμπροσθεν ἡμερῶν ὧν με ὁ θεὸς ἐφύλαξεν; |
| 29:3 | ὡς ὅτε ηὔγει ὁ λύχνος αὐτοῦ ὑπὲρ κεφαλῆς μου, ὅτε τῷ φωτὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπορευόμην ἐν σκότει· |
| 29:4 | ὅτε ἤμην ἐπιβρίθων ὁδούς, ὅτε ὁ θεὸς ἐπισκοπὴν ἐποιεῖτο τοῦ οἴκου μου· |
| 29:5 | ὅτε ἤμην ὑλώδης λίαν, κύκλῳ δέ μου οἱ παῖδες· |
| 29:6 | ὅτε ἐχέοντο αἱ ὁδοί μου βουτύρῳ, τὰ δὲ ὄρη μου ἐχέοντο γάλακτι· |
| 29:7 | ὅτε ἐξεπορευόμην ὄρθριος ἐν πόλει, ἐν δὲ πλατείαις ἐτίθετό μου ὁ δίφρος. |
| 29:8 | ἰδόντες με νεανίσκοι ἐκρύβησαν, πρεσβῦται δὲ πάντες ἔστησαν· |
| 29:9 | ἁδροὶ δὲ ἐπαύσαντο λαλοῦντες, δάκτυλον ἐπιθέντες ἐπὶ στόματι. |
| 29:10 | οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες ἐμακάρισάν με, καὶ γλῶσσα αὐτῶν τῷ λάρυγγι αὐτῶν ἐκολλήθη· |
| 29:11 | ὅτὶ οὗς ἤκουσεν καὶ ἐμακάρισέν με, ὀφθαλμὸς δὲ ἰδών με ἐξέκλινεν. |
| 29:12 | διέσωσα γὰρ πτωχὸν ἐκ χειρὸς δυνάστου, καὶ ὀρφανῷ ᾧ οὐκ ἦν βοηθὸς ἐβοήθησα· |
| 29:13 | εὐλογία ἀπολλυμένου ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἔλθοι, στόμα δέ χήρας με εὐλόγησεν. |
| 29:14 | δικαιοσύνην δὲ ἐνδεδύκειν, ἠμφιασάμην δὲ κρίμα ἴσα διπλοίδι |
| 29:15 | ὀφθαλμὸς ἤμην τυφλῶν, ποὺς δὲ χωλῶν. |
| 29:16 | ἐγὼ ἤμην πατὴρ ἀδυνάτων, δίκην δὲ ἣν οὐκ ᾔδειν ἐξιχνίασα· |
| 29:17 | συνέτριψα δὲ μύλας ἀδίκων· ἐκ μέσου τῶν ὀδόντων αὐτῶν ἅρπαγμα ἐξήρπασα. |
| 29:18 | εἶπα δέ Ἡ ἡλικία μου γηράσει· ὥσπερ στέλεχος φοίνικος, πολὺν χρόνον βιώσω· |
| 29:19 | ἡ ῥίζα διήνοικται ἐπὶ ὑδατος, καὶ δρόσος αὐλισθήσεται ἐν τῷ θερισμῷ μου· |
| 29:20 | ἡ δόξα μου καινὴ μετʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ τὸ τόξον μου ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ πορεύεται. |
| 29:21 | ἐμοῦ ἀκούσαντες προσέσχον, ἐσιώπησαν δὲ ἐπὶ τῆ ἐμῇ βουλῆ· |
| 29:22 | ἐπὶ τῷ ἐμῷ ῥήματι οὐ προσέθεντο, περιχαρεῖς δὲ ἐγίνοντο ὁπόταν αὐτοῖς ἐλάλουν· |
| 29:23 | ὥσπερ γῆ διψῶσα προσδεχομένη τὸν ὑετόν, οὕτως οὗτοι τὴν ἐμὴν λαλιάν. |
| 29:24 | ἐὰν γελάσω πρὸς αὐτούς, οὐ μὴ πιστεύσωσιν· καὶ φῶς τοῦ προσώπου μου οὐκ ἀπέπιπτεν. |
| 29:25 | ἐξελεξάμην ὁδὸν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκάθισα ἄρχων. καὶ κατεσκήνουν ὡσεὶ βασιλεὺς ἐν μονοζώνοις, ὃν τρόπον παθεινοὺς παρακαλῶν. |

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.
