| 1:1 | ΠΑΡΟΙΜΙΑΙ Σαλωμῶντος υἱοῦ Δαυείδ ὃς ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰσραήλ, |
| 1:2 | γνῶναι σοφίαν καὶ παιδείαν δέξασθαί τε λόγους φρονήσεως, |
| 1:3 | δέξασθαί τε στροφὰς λόγων, νοῆσαί τε δικαιοσύνην ἀληθῆ καὶ κρίμα κατευθύνειν· |
| 1:4 | ἴνα δῷ ἀκάκοις πανουργίαν, παιδὶ δὲ νέῳ αἴσθησίν τε καὶ ἔννοιαν. |
| 1:5 | τῶνδε γὰρ ἀκούσας σοφὸς σοφώτερος ἔσται, ὁ δὲ νοήμων κυβέρνησιν κτήσεται, |
| 1:6 | νοήσει τε παραβολὴν καὶ σκοτεινὸν λόγον ῥήσεις τε σοφῶν καὶ αἰνίγματα. |
| 1:7 | Ἀρχὴ σοφίας φόβος θεοῦ, σύνεσις δὲ ἀγαθὴ πᾶσι τοῖς ποιοῦσιν αὐτήν· εὐσεβέα δὲ εἰς θεὸν ἀρχὴ αἰσθήσεως, σοφίαν δὲ καὶ παιδείαν ἀσεβεῖς ἐξουθενήσουσιν. |
| 1:8 | ἄκουε, υἱέ, παιδείαν πατρός σου, καὶ μὴ ἀπώσῃ θεσμοὺς μητρός σου· |
| 1:9 | στέφανον γὰρ χαρίτων δέξῃ σῇ κορυφῇ, καὶ κλοιὸν χρύσεον περὶ σῷ τραχήλῳι |
| 1:10 | υἱέ, μὴ σε πλανήσωσιν ἄνδρες ἀσεβεῖς, μηδέ βουληθῇς |
| 1:11 | ἐὰν παρακαλέσωσί σε λέγοντες Ἐλθὲ μεθʼ ἡμῶν, κοινώνησον αἵματος, κρύψωμεν δὲ εἰς γῆν ἄνδρα δίκαιον ἀδίκως. |
| 1:12 | καταπίωμεν δέ αὐτὸν ὥσπερ ᾄδης ζῶντα, καὶ ἄρωμεν αὐτοῦ τὴν μνήμην ἐκ γῆς· |
| 1:13 | τὴν κτῆσιν αὐτοῦ τὴν πολυτελῆ καταλαβώμεθα, πλήσωμεν δὲ οἴκους ἡμετέρους σκύλων· |
| 1:14 | τὸν δὲ σὸν κλῆρον βάλε ἐν ἡμῖν, κοινὸν δὲ βαλλάντιον κτησώμεθα πάντες καὶ μαρσίππιον ἐν γενηθήτω ἡμῖν. |
| 1:15 | μὴ πορευθῇς ἐν ὁδῷ μετʼ αὐτῶν, ἔκκλινον δὲ τὸν πόδα σου ἐκ τῶν τρίβων αὐτῶν· |
| 1:17 | οὐ γὰρ ἀδίκως ἐκτείνεται δίκτυα πτερωτοῖς. |
| 1:18 | αὐτοὶ γὰρ οἱ φόνου μετέχοντες θησαυρίζουσιν ἑαυτοῖς κακά, ἡ δέ καταστροφὴ ἀνδρῶν παρανόμωνν κακή. |
| 1:19 | ηὗται αἱ ὁδοί εἰσιν πάνταον τῶν συντελούτωνν τὰ ἄνομα· τῇ γὰρ ἀσεβείᾳ τὴν ἑαυτῶν ψυχὴν ἀφαιροῦνται. |
| 1:20 | Σοφία ἐν ἐξόδοις ὑμνεῖται, ἐν δὲ πλατείαις παρρησίαν ἄγει· |
| 1:21 | ἐη᾿ ἄκρων δὲ τειχέων κηρύσσεται, ἐπὶ δὲ πύλαις δυναστῶν παρεδρεύει, ἐπὶ δὲ πύλαις πόλεως θαρροῦσα λέγει |
| 1:22 | Ὅσον ἂν χρόνον ἄκακοι ἔχωνται τῆς δικαιοσύνης, οὐκ αἰσχυνθήοἱ δὲ ἄφρονες, τῆς ὕβρεως ὄντες ἐπιθυμηταί, ἀσεβεῖς γενόμενοι ἐμίσησαν αἴσθησιν, |
| 1:23 | καὶ ὑπεύθυνοι ἐγένοντο ἐλέγχοις. ἰδοὺ προήσομαι ὑμῖν ἐμῆς πνοῆς ῥῆσιν, διδάξω δὲ ὑμᾶς τὸν ἐμὸν λόγον. |
| 1:24 | ἐπειδὴ ἐκάλουν καὶ οὐχ ὑπηκούσατε, καὶ ἐξέτεινον λόγους καὶ οὐ προσείχετε, |
| 1:25 | ἀλλὰ ἀκύρους ἐποιεῖτε ἐμὰς βουλάς, τοῖς δὲ ἐμοῖς ἐλέγχοις ἠπειθήσατε· |
| 1:26 | τοιγαροῦν κἀγὼ τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ ἀπωλείᾳ ἐπιγελάσομαι, καταχαροῦμαι δὲ ἡνίκα ἂν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν ὄλεθρος. |
| 1:27 | καὶ ὡς ἂν ἀφίκηται ὑμῖν ἄφνω θόρυβος, ἡ δὲ καταστροφὴ ὁμοίως καταιγίδι παρῇ. καὶ ὅταν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν θλίψις καὶ πολιορκία, ἢ ὅταν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν ὄλεθρος. |
| 1:28 | ἕσται γὰρ ὅταν ἐπικαλέσησθέ με, ἐγὼ δὲ οὐκ εἰσακούσομαι ὑμῶν· ζητήσουσίν με κακοί, καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσουσιν. |
| 1:29 | ἐμίσησαν γὰρ σοφίαν, τὸν δὲ λόγον τοῦ κυρίου οὐ προείλαντο, |
| 1:30 | οὐδὲ ἤθελον ἐμαῖς προσέχειν βουλαῖς, ἐμυκτήριζον δὲ ἐμοὺς ἐλέγχους. |
| 1:31 | τοιγαροῦν ἔδονται τῆς ἑαυτῶν ὁδοῦ τοὺς καρπούς, καὶ τῆς ἑαυτῶν ἀσεβείας πλησθήσονται· |
| 1:32 | ἀνθʼ ὧν γὰρ ἠδίκουν νηπίους φονευθήσονται, καὶ ἐξετασμὸς ἀσεβεῖς ὀλεῖ |
| 1:33 | ὁ δὲ ἐμοῦ ἀκούων κατασκηνώσει ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι, καὶ ἡσυχάσει ἀφόβως ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ. |

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.
