| 4:2 | Bή. υἱοὶ Σειὼν οἱ τίμιοι οἱ ἐπηρμένοι ἐν χρυσίῳ, πῶς ἐλογίσθησαν εἰς ἄγγια ὀστράκινα, ἔργα χειρῶν κεραμέως |
| 4:3 | Γίμελ Καί γε δράκοντες ἐξέδυσαν μαστούς, ἐθήλασαν σκύμνοι αὐτῶν θυγατέρας λαοῦ μου εἰς ἀνίατον, ὡς στρουθίον ἐν ἐρήμῃ. |
| 4:4 | Δάλεθ. Ἐκολλήθη ἡ γλῶσσα θηλάζοντος πρὸς τὸν φάρυγγα αὐτοῦ ἐν δίψει· νήπια ῆτησαν ἄρτον, ὁ διακλῶν οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς. |
| 4:5 | Ἥ Οί ἔσθοντες τὰς τροφὰς ἠφανίσθησαν ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις, οἱ τιθηνούμενοι ἐπὶ κόκκῳ περιεβάλοντο κοπρίας. |
| 4:6 | Οὐαό. Καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη ἀνομία θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου ὑπέρ ἀνομίας Σοδόμων, τῆς κατεστραμμένης ὥσπερ σπουδῇ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπόνεσαν ἐν αὐτῇ χεῖρας. |
| 4:7 | Ζάιν. Ἐκαθαριώθησαν Ναζειραῖοι αὐτῆς ὑπέρ χιόνα, ἔλαμψαν ὑπέρ γάλα, ἐπυρώθησαν ὑπέρ λίθους, σαπφείρου τὸ ἀπόσπασμα αὐτῶν. |
| 4:8 | Ἥθ. Ἐσκότασεν ὑπέρ ἀσβόλην τὸ εἶδος αὐτῶν, οὐκ ἐπεγνώσθησαν ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις· ἐπάγη δέρμα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰ ὀστέα αὐτῶν, ἐξηράνθησαν, ἐγενήθησαν ὥσπερ ξύλον. |
| 4:9 | Τήθ. Καλοὶ ἦσαν οἱ τραυματίαι όομφαίας ἡ οἱ τραυματίαι λιμοῦ· ἐπορεύθησαν ἐκκεκεντημένοι ἀπὸ γενημάτων ἀγρῶν. |
| 4:10 | Ἰώδ. Χεῖρες γυναικῶν οἰκτειρμόναων ἥψησαν τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν, ἐγενήθησαν εἰς βρῶσιν αὐταῖς ἐν τῷ συντρίμματι τῆς θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου. |
| 4:11 | Χάφ. Συνετέλεσεν Κύριος θυμὸν αὐτοῦ, ἐξέχεεν θυμὸν ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνῆψεν πῦρ ἐν Σειών, καὶ κατέφαγεν τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς. |
| 4:12 | Αάβδ. Οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν βασιλεῖς γῆς, πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην, ὅτι εἰσελεύσεται ἐχθρὸς καὶ ἐκθλίίδων διὰ τῶν πυλῶν Ἰε. ρουσαλήμ. |
| 4:13 | Μήμ. Ἐξ ἁμαρτιῶν προφητῶν αὐτῆς, ἀδικιῶν ἱερέων αὐτῆς, τῶν εκχεοντων αἶμα δίκαιον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς. |
| 4:14 | Nούν. Ἐσαλεύθησαν ἐγρήγοροι αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις, ἐμολύνθησαν ἐν αἵματι ἐν τῷ μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτούς, ἥψαντο ἐνδυμάτων αὐτῶν. |
| 4:15 | Σάμεχ. Ἀπόστητε ἀκαθάρτων, καλέσατε αὐτοὺς Ἀπόστητε ἀπόστητε, μὴ ἄπτεσθε, ὅτι ἀνήφθησαν καί γε ἐσαλεύθησαν· εἶπατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν οὐ μὴ προσθῶσιν τοῦ παροικεῖν. |
| 4:16 | Ἄιν. Πρόσωπον Κυρίου μερὶς αὐτῶν, οὐ προσθήσει ἐπιβλέψαι αὐτοῖς· πρόσωπον ἱερέων οὐκ ἔλαβον, προφήτας οὐκ ἠλέησαν. |
| 4:17 | Φή. Ἔτι ὄντων ἡμῶν ἐξέλιπον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν, εἰς τὴν βοήθειαν ἡμῶν μάταια ἀποσκοπευόντων ἡμῶν. |
| 4:18 | Ταδή. Ἀπεσκοπεύσαμεν εἰς ἔθνος οὐ σῶζον, ἐθηρεύσαμεν μικροὺς ἡμῶν τοῦ μὴ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἡμῶν. |
| 4:19 | Κὼφ. Ἤγγικεν ὁ καιρὸς ἡμῶν, ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι ἡμῶν, πάρεστιν ὁ καιρὸς ἡμῶν· κοῦφοι ἐγένοντο οἱ διώκοντες ἡμᾶς ὑπέρ ἀετοὺς οὐρανοῦ, ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων ἐξέπτησαν, ἐν ἐρήμῳ ἐνήδρευσαν ἡμᾶς. |
| 4:20 | 'Ρήχς. Πνεῦμα προσώπου ἡμῶν χριστὸς Κύριος συνελήμφθη ἐν ταῖς διαφθοραῖς αὐτῶν, οὖ εἶπαμεν Ἐν τῇ σκιῷ αὐτοῦ ζησόμεθα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν. |
| 4:21 | Χσέν. Χαῖρε καὶ εὐφραίνου, θύγατερ Ἰδουμαίας ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐπὶ γῆς. καί γε ἐπὶ σὲ διελεύσεται τὸ ποτήριον Κυρίου, μεθυσθήσῃ καὶ ἀποχεεῖς. |
| 4:22 | θαύ Ἐξέλιπεν ἡ ἀνομία σου, θύγατερ Σειών, οὐ προσθήσει ἀποικίσαι σε. ἐπεσκέψατο ἀνομίας σου, θυγάτηρ Ἐδώμ, ἀπεκάλυψεν ἐπὶ τὰ ἀσεβήματά σου. |

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.
