| 2:1 | Συντετέλεσται, ἐξῆρται· |
| 2:2 | ἀνέβη ἐμφυσῶν εἰς πρόσωπόν σου, ἐξαιρούμενος ἐκ θλίψεως. σκόπευσον ὁδόν, κράτησον ὀσφύος, ἄνδρισαι τῇ ἰσχύι σφόδρα· |
| 2:3 | διότι ἀπέστρεψεν Κύριος τὴν ὕβριν Ἰακὼβ καθὼς ὕβριν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, διότι ἐκτινάσσοντες ἐξετίναξαν αὐτοὺς καὶ τὰ κλήματα αὐτῶν διέφθειραν. |
| 2:4 | ὅπλα δυναστείας αὐτῶν ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, ἄνδρας δυνατοὺς ἐμπαίζοντας ἐν πυρί αἱ ἡνίαι τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἑτοιμασίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ ἱππεῖς θορυβηθήσονται |
| 2:5 | ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς, καὶ συγχυθήσονται τὰ ἄρματα καὶ συνπλακήσονται ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις· ἡ ὅρασις αὐτῶν ὡς λαμπάδες πυρὸς καὶ ὡς ἀστραπαὶ διατρέχουσαι. |
| 2:6 | καὶ μνησθήσονται οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτῶν, καὶ φεύξονται ἡμέρας καὶ ἀσθενήσουσιν ἐν τῇ πορίᾳ αὐτῶν, καὶ σπεύσουσιν ἐπὶ τὰ τείχη αὐτῆς καὶ ἑτοιμάσουσιν τὰς προφυλακὰς αὐτῶν. |
| 2:7 | πύλαι τῶν πόλεων διηνοίχθησαν, καὶ τὰ βασίλεια διέπεσεθ, |
| 2:8 | καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασις ἀπεκαλύφθη· καὶ αὕτη ἀνέβαινεν καὶ αἱ δοῦλαι αὐτῆς ἥγοντο καθὼς περιστεραὶ φθεγγόμεναι ἐν καρδίαις αὐτῶν. |
| 2:9 | καὶ Νινευή, ὡς κολυμβήθρα ὕδατος τὰ ὕδατα αὐτῆς, καὶ αὐτοὶ φεύγοντες οὐκ ἔστησαν, καὶ οὐκ ἣν ὁ ἐπιβλέπων. |
| 2:10 | διήρπασαν τὸ ἀργύριον, διήρπαζον τὸ χρυσίον, καὶ οὐκ ἦν πέρας τοῦ κόσμου αὐτῆς· βεβάρυνται ἐπὶ πάντα σκεύη τὰ ἐπιθυμητὰ αὐτῆς. |
| 2:11 | ἐκτιναγμὸς καὶ ἀνατιναγμός, καὶ ἐκβραγμὸς καὶ καρδίας θραυσμός, καὶ ὑπόλυσις γονάτων καὶ ὠδῖυες ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ὀσφύν, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον πάντων ὡς πρόσκαυμα χύτρας. |
| 2:12 | ποῦ ἐστιν τὸ κατοικητήριον τῶν λεόντων, καὶ ἡ νομὴ ἡ οὖσα τοῖς σκύμνοις ; ποῦ ἐπορεύθη λέων τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν ἐκεῖ σκύμνον λέοντος, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐκφοβῶν; |
| 2:13 | λέων ἥρπασεν τὰ ἱκανὰ τοῖς σκύμνοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέπνιξεν τοῖς λέουσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔπλησεν θήρας νοσσιὰν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ κατοικητήριον αὐτοῦ ἁρπαγῆς. |
| 2:14 | ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σέ, λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ, καὶ ἐκκαύσω ἐν καπνῷ πλῆθός σου, καὶ τοὺς λέοντάς σου καταφάγεται ῥομφαία, καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω ἐκ τῆς γῆς τὴν θήραν σου, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ οὐκέτι τὰ ἔργα 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.
