| 5:1 | Μνήσθητι, Κύριε, ὅ τι ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν, ἐπίκκβλεψον καὶ ἴδε τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν ἡμῶν. |
| 5:2 | κληρονομία ἡμῶν μετεστράφη ἀλλοτρίοις, οἱ οἶκοι ἡμῶν ξένοις. |
| 5:3 | ὀρφανοὶ ἐγενήθημεν, οὐχ ὑπάρχει πατήρ, μητέρες ἡμῶν ὡς αἱ χῆραι. |
| 5:4 | ἐξ ἡμερῶν ἡμῶν ξύλα ἡμῶν ἐν ἀλλάγματι ἦλθεν· |
| 5:5 | ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον ἡμῶν ἐδιώχθημεν· ἐκοπιάσαμεν, οὐκ ἀνεπαύθημεν. |
| 5:6 | Aἶγυπτος ἔδωκεν χείρα. Ἀσσοὺρ εἰς πλησμονὴν αὐτῶν. |
| 5:7 | οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἥμαρτον, οὐχ ὑπάρχουσιν, ἡμεῖς τὰ ἀνομήματα αὐτῶν ὑπέσχομεν. |
| 5:8 | δοῦλοι ἐκυρίευσαν ἡμῶν, λυτρούμενος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν. |
| 5:9 | ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς ἡμῶν εἰσοίσομεν ἄρτον ἡμῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου όομφαίας τῆς ἐρήμου. |
| 5:10 | τὸ δέρμα ἡμῶν ὡς κλίβανος ἐπελιώθη, συνεσπάσθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου καταιγίδων λιμοῦ. |
| 5:11 | γυναῖκας ἐν Σειὼν ἐταπείνωσαν, παρθένους ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα. |
| 5:12 | ἄρχοντες ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν ἐκρεμάσθησαν, πρεσβύτεροι οὐκ ἐδοξάσθησαν. |
| 5:13 | ἐκλεκτοὶ κλαυθμὸν ἀνέλαβον, καὶ νεανίσκοι ἐν ξύλῳ ἠσθένησαν. |
| 5:14 | καὶ πρεσβῦται ἀπὸ πύλης κατέπαυσαν, ἐκλεκτοὶ ἐκ ψαλμῶν αὐτῶν κατέπαυσαν, |
| 5:15 | κατέλυσεν χαρὰ καρδίας ἡμῶν, ἐστράφη εἰς πένθος ὁ χορὸς ἡμῶν, |
| 5:16 | ἔπεσεν ὁ στέφανος ἡμῶν τῆς κεφαλῆς. οὐαὶ δὴ ἡμῖν, ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν. |
| 5:17 | περὶ τούτου ἐγενήθη ὀδύνη ὀδυνηρὰ ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν. περὶ τούτου ἐσκότασαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν. |
| 5:18 | ἐπ᾿ ὄρος Σειών, ὅτι ἠφανίσθη, ἀλώπεκες διῆλθον ἐν αὐτῇ. |
| 5:19 | σὺ δέ, Κύριε, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατοικήσεις, ὁ θρόνος σου εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν. |
| 5:20 | ζνα τί εἰς νῖκος ἐπιλήσῃ ἡμῶν; καταλείψεις ἡμᾶς εἰς μακρότητα ἡμερῶν; |
| 5:21 | ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς, Κύριε, πρὸς σέ, καὶ ἐπιστραφησόμεθα· καὶ ἀνακαίνισον ἡμέρας ἡμῶν καθὼς ἔμπροσθεν. |

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.
