| 9:1 | Ἡ σοφία οἰκοδόμησεν ἑαυτῇ οἶκον, καὶ ὑπήρεισεν στύλους ἑπτά· |
| 9:2 | ἔσφαξεν τὰ ἑαυτῆς θύματα, ἐκέρασεν εἰς κρατῆρα τὸν ἑαυτῆς οἶνον, καὶ ἡτοιμάσατο τὴν ἑαυτῆς τράπεζαν· |
| 9:3 | ἀπέστειλεν τοὺς ἑαυτῆς δούλους, συγκαλοῦσα μετὰ ὑψηλοῦ κηρύγματος ἐπὶ κρατῆρα, λέγουσα |
| 9:4 | Ὅς ἐστιν ἄφρων, ἐκκλινάτω πρὸς μέ· καὶ τοῖς ἐνδεέσι φρενῶν εἶπεν |
| 9:5 | Ἔλθατε, φάγετε τῶν ἐμῶν ἄρτων, καὶ πίετε οἶνον ὃν ἐκέρασα ὑμῖν· |
| 9:6 | ἀπολείπετε ἀφροσύνην, ἵνα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα βασιλεύσητε, καὶ ζητήσατε φρόνησιν, καὶ κατορθώσατε ἐν γνώσει σύνεσιν. |
| 9:7 | Ὁ παιδεύων κακοὺς λήμψεται ἑαυτῷ ἀτιμίαν· ἐλέγχων δὲ τὸν ἀσεβῆ μωμήσεται ἑαυτόν. |
| 9:8 | μὴ ἔλεγχε κακούς, ἵνα μὴ μισῶσίν σε· ἔλεγχε σοφόν, καὶ ἀγαπήσει σε. |
| 9:9 | δίδου σοφῷ ἀφορμήν, καὶ σοφώτερος ἔσται· γνώριζε δικαίῳ, καὶ προσθήσει τοῦ δέχεσθαι. |
| 9:10 | ἀρχὴ σοφίας φόβος Κυρίου, καὶ βουλὴ ἁγίων σύνεσις· τὸ γὰρ γνῶναι νόμον διανοίας ἐστὶν ἀγαθῆς. |
| 9:11 | τούτῳ γὰρ τῷ τρόπῳ πολὺν ζήσεις χρόνον, καὶ προστεθήσεταί σοι ἔτη ζωῆς σου. |
| 9:12 | υἱέ, ἐὰν σοφὸς γένῃ σεαυτῷ, σοφὸς ἔσῃ καὶ τοῖς πλησίον· ἐὰν δὲ κακὸς ἀποβῇς, μόνος ἂν ἀντλήσεις κακά. |
| 9:12a | aὃς ἐρείδεται ἐπὶ ψεύδεσιν, οὗτος ποιμαίνει ἀνέμους. ὁ δʼ αὐτὸς διώξεται ὄρνεα πετόμενα· |
| 9:12b | ᵇἀπέλιπεν γὰρ ὁδοὺς τοῦ ἑαυτοῦ ἀμπελῶνος, τοὺς δὲ ἄξονας τοῦ ἰδίου γεωργίου πεπλάνηται· |
| 9:12c | διαπορεύεται δὲ δἱ ἀνύδρου ἐρήμου καὶ γῆν διατεταγμένην ἐν διψώδεσιν, συνάγει δέ χερσὶν ἀκαρπίαν. |
| 9:13 | Γυνὴ ἄφρων καὶ θρασεῖα ἐνδεὴς ψωμοῦ γίνεται, ἣ οὐκ ἐπίσταται αἰσχύνην· |
| 9:14 | ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ θύραις τοῦ ἑαυτῆς οἴκου ἐπὶ δίφρου, ἐμφανῶς ἐν πλατείαις |
| 9:15 | προσκαλουμένη τοὺς παριόντας καὶ κατευθύνοντας ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν |
| 9:16 | Ὅs ἐστιν ὑμῶν ἀφρονέστατος, ἐκκλινάτω πρὸς μέ· ἐνδεέσι δέ φρονήσεως παρακελεύομαι λέγουσα |
| 9:17 | Ἄρτων κρυφίων ἡδέως ἅψασθε, καὶ ὕδατος κλοπῆς γλυκεροῦ. |
| 9:18 | ό δὲ οὐκ οἶδεν ὅτι γηγενεῖς παρʼ αὐτῇ ὄλλυνται, καὶ ἐπὶ πέτευρον ἅδου συναντᾷ. |
| 9:18a | aἀλλὰ ἀποπήδησον, μὴ χρονίσῃς ἐν τῷ τόπῳ, αηδὲ ἐπιστήσῃς τὸ σὸν ὄμμα πρὸς αὐτὴν· οὕτως γὰρ διαβήσῃ ὕδωρ ἀλλότριον· |
| 9:18b | ᵇἀπὸ δὲ ὕδατος ἀλλοτρίου ἀπόσχου, καὶ ἀπὸ πηγῆς ἀλλοτρίας μὴ πίης. |
| 9:18c | cἵνᾷ πολὺν ζήσῃς χρόνον, προστεθῇ δέ σοι ἔτη ζωῆς. |

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.
