| 5:1 | Υἱέ, ἐμῇ σοφίᾳ πρόσεχε, ἐμοῖς δὲ λόγοις παράβαλλε σὸν οὗς, |
| 5:2 | ἴνα φυλάξῃς ἔννοιαν ἀγαθήν· αἴσθησις δὲ ἐμῶν χειλέων ἐντέλλεταί σοι. |
| 5:3 | μὴ πρόσεχε φαύλῃ γυναικί μέλι γὰρ ἀποστάζει ἀπὸ χειλέων γυναικὸς πόρνης, ἣ πρὸς καιρὸν λιπαίνει σὸν φάρυγγα· |
| 5:4 | ὕστερον μέντοι πικρότερον χολῆς εὑρήσεις καὶ ἠκονημένον μᾶλλον μαχαίρας διστόμου. |
| 5:5 | τῆς γὰρ ἀφροσύνης οἱ πόδες κατάγουσιν τοὺς χραομένους αὐτῇ μετὰ θανάτου εἰς τὸν ἄδήν, τὰ δέ ἴχνη αὐτῆς οὐκ ἐρείδεται |
| 5:6 | ὁδοὺς γὰρ ζωῆς οὐκ ἐπέρχεται, σφαλεραὶ δέ αἱ τροχιαὶ αὐτῆς καὶ οὐκ εὔγνωστοι. |
| 5:7 | νῦν οὗν, υἱέ, ἄκουέ μου, καὶ μὴ ἀκύρους ποιήσῃς ἐμοὺς λόγους. |
| 5:8 | μακρὰν ποίησον ἀπʼ αὐτῆς σὴν ὁδόν, μὴ ἐγγίσῃς πρὸς θύραις οἴκων αὐτῆς· |
| 5:9 | ἵνα μὴ πρόῃ ἄλλοις ζωήν σου, καὶ σὸν βίον ἀνελεήμοσιν· |
| 5:10 | ἵνα μὴ πλησθῶσιν ἀλλότριοι σῆς ἰσχύος, οἱ δὲ σοὶ πόνοι εἰς οἴκους ἀλλοτρίων ἔλθωσιν· |
| 5:11 | καὶ μεταμεληθήσῃ ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων, ἡνίκα ἂν κατατριβῶσιν σάρκες σώματός σου, |
| 5:12 | καὶ ἐρεῖς Πῶς ἐμίσησα παιδείαν, καὶ ἐλέγχους ἐξέκλινεν ἡ καρδία μου· |
| 5:13 | οὐκ ἤκουον φωνὴν παιδεύοντός με καὶ διδάσκοντός με. οὐδὲ παρέβαλλον τὸ οὖς μου· |
| 5:14 | παρʼ ὀλίγον ἐγενόμην ἐν παντὶ κακῷ ἐν μέσῳ ἐκκλησίας καὶ συναγωγῆς. |
| 5:15 | πῖνε ὕδατα ἀπὸ σῶν ἀγγείων καὶ ἀπὸ σῶν φρεάτων πηγῆς. |
| 5:16 | μὴ ὑπερεκχείσθω σοι ὕδατα ἐκ τῆς σῆς πηγῆς. εἰς δὲ σὰς πλατείας διαπορευέσθω τὰ σὰ ὕδατα· |
| 5:17 | ἔστω σοι μόνα ὑπάρχοντα. καὶ μηδεὶς ἀλλότριος μετασχέτω σοι· |
| 5:18 | ἡ πηγή σου τοῦ ὕδατος ἔστω σοι ἰδία, καὶ συνευφραίνου μετὰ γυναικὸς τῆς ἐκ νεότητός σου. |
| 5:19 | ἔλαφος φιλίας καὶ πῶλος σῶν χαρίτων ὁμιλείτω σοι, ἡ δὲ ἰδία ἡγείσθω σου καὶ συνέστω σοι ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ ἐν γὰρ τῇ ταύτης φιλίᾳ συνπεριφερόμενος πολλοστὸς ἔσῃ. |
| 5:20 | μὴ πολὺς ἴσθι πρὸς ἀλλοτρίαν. μηδὲ συνέρχου ἀγκάλαις τῆς μὴ ἰδίας· |
| 5:21 | ἐνώπιον γάρ εἰσιν τῶν τοῦ θεοῦ ὀφθαλμῶν ὁδοὶ ἀνδρός, εἰς δὲ πάσας τὰς τροχιὰς αὐτοῦ σκοπεύει. |
| 5:22 | παρανομίαι ἄνδρα ἀγρεύουσιν, σειραῖς δὲ τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτιῶν ἕκαστος σφίγγεται |
| 5:23 | οὗτος τελευτῷ μετὰ ἀπαιδεύτων, ἐκ δὲ πλήθους τῆς ἑαυτοῦ βιότητος ἐξερίφη καὶ ἀπώλετο δι᾿ ἀφροσύνην. |

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.
