| 4:1 | Ἀκούσατε, παῖδες, παιδείαν πατρός, καὶ προσέχετε γνῶναι ἔννοιαν. |
| 4:2 | δῶρον γὰρ ἀγαθὸν δωροῦμαι ὑμῖν, τὸν ἐμὸν νόμον μὴ ἐγκαταλίπητε. |
| 4:3 | υἱὸς γὰρ ἐγενόμην κἀγὼ πατρὶ ὑπήκοος καὶ ἀγαπώμενος ἐν προσώπῳ μητρός, |
| 4:4 | οἳ ἔλεγον καὶ ἐδίδασκόν με Ἐρειδέτω ὁ ἡμένερος λόγος εἰς σὴν καρδίαν· |
| 4:5 | φύλασσε ἐντολάς, ⁵μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ· μηδὲ παρίδῃς ῥῆσιν ἐμοῦ στόματος |
| 4:6 | μηδὲ ἐγκαταλίπῃς αὐτήν, καὶ ἀνθέξεταί σου· ἐράσθητι αὐτῆς, καὶ τηρήσει σε. |
| 4:8 | περιχαράκαωσον αὐτήν, καὶ ὑψώσει σε· τίμησον αὐτήν, ἴνα σε περιλάβῃ· |
| 4:9 | ἵνα δῷ τῇ σῇ κεφαλῇ στέφανον χαρίτων. στεφάνῳ δέ τρυφῆς ὑπερασπίσῃ σου. |
| 4:10 | Ἄκουε, υἱέ, καὶ δέξαι ἐμοὺς λόγους. καὶ πληθυνθήσεται ἔτη ζωῆς σου, ἴνα σοι γένωνται πολλαὶ ὁδοὶ βίου. |
| 4:11 | ὁδοὺς γὰρ σοφίας διδάσκω σε. ἐμββάζω δέ σε τροχιαῖς ὀρθαῖς. |
| 4:12 | ἐὰν γὰρ πορεύῃ, οὐ συνκλεισθήσεταί σου τὰ διαβήματα· ἐὰν δέ τρέχῃς, οὐ κοπιάσεις. |
| 4:13 | ἐπιλαβοῦ ἐμῆς παιδείας. μὴ ἀφῇς, ἀλλὰ φύλαξον αὐτὴν σεαυτῷ εἰς ζωὴν σου. |
| 4:14 | ὁδοὺς ἀσεβῶν μὴ ἐπέλθῃς, μηδέ ζηλώσῃς ὁδοὺς παρανόμων· |
| 4:15 | ἐν ᾧ ἂν τόπῳ στρατοπεδεύσωσιν, μὴ ἐπέλθῃς ἐκει. ἔκκλινον δὲ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν καὶ παράλλαξον. |
| 4:16 | οὐ γὰρ μὴ ὑπνώσωσιν, ἐὰν μὴ κακοποιήσωσιν· ἀφήρηται ὁ ὕπνος αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ κοιμῶνται· |
| 4:17 | οἵδε γὰρ σιτοῦνται σῖτα ἀσεβείας, οἴνῳ δὲ παρανόμῳ μεθύσκονται. |
| 4:18 | αἱ δὲ ὁδοὶ τῶν δικαίων ὁμοίως φωτὶ λάμπουσιν, προπορεύονται καὶ φωτίζουσιν ἕως κατορθώσῃ ἡ ἡμέρα. |
| 4:19 | αἱ δὲ ὁδοὶ τῶν ἀσεβῶν σκοτειναί, οὐκ οἴδασιν πῶς προσκόπτουσιν. |
| 4:20 | Υἱέ, ἐμῇ ῥήσει πρόσεχε, τοῖς δὲ ἐμοῖς λόγοις παράβαλε σὸν οὖς, |
| 4:21 | ὅπως μὴ ἐκλίπωσίν σε αἱ πηγαί σου, φύλασσε αὐτὰς ἐν καρδίᾳ· |
| 4:22 | ζωὴ γάρ ἐστιν τοῖς εὑρίσκουσιν αὐτήν, καὶ πάσῃ σαρκὶ ἴασις. |
| 4:23 | πάσῃ φυλακῇ τήρει σὴν καρδίαν· ἐκ γὰρ τούτων ἔξοδοι ζωῆς. |
| 4:24 | περίελε σεαυτοῦ σκολιὸν στόμα, καὶ ἄδικα χείλη ἀπὸ σοῦ μακρὰν ἄπωσαι. |
| 4:25 | οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὀρθὰ βλεπέτωσαν, τὰ δὲ βλέφαρά σου νευέτω δίκαια. |
| 4:26 | ὀρθὰς τροχιὰς ποίει σοῖς ποσίν, καὶ τὰς ὁδοὺς σου κατεύθυνε. |
| 4:27 | μὴ ἐκκλίνῃς εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ μηδὲ εἰς τὰ ἀριστερά, ἀπόστρεψον δὲ σὸν πόδα ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ κακῆς. |
| 4:27a | aὁδοὺς γὰρ τὰς ἐκ δεξῶν οἶδεν ὁ θεός, διεστραμμέναι δέ εἰσιν αἱ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν· |
| 4:27b | ᵇαὐτὸς δὲ ὀρθὰς ποιήσει τὰς τροχιάς σου, τὰς δὲ πορείας σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ προάξει. |

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.
