| 1:1 | ΠΑΣA σοφία παρὰ Κυρίου, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. |
| 1:2 | ἄμμον θαλασσῶν καὶ σταγόνας ὑετοῦ καὶ ἡμέρας αἰῶνος τίς ἐξαριθμήσει ; |
| 1:3 | ὕψος οὐρανοῦ καὶ πλάτος γῆς καὶ ἄβυσσον καὶ σοφίαυ τίς ἐξιχνιάσει ; |
| 1:4 | προτέρα πάντων ἔκτισται σοφία, καὶ σύνεσις φρονήσεως ἐξ αἰῶνυς. |
| 1:6 | ῥίζα σοφίας τίνι ἀπεκαλύφθη; καὶ τὰ πανουργεύματα αὐτῆς τίς ἔγνω; |
| 1:7 | εἷς ἐστὶν σοφός, φοβερὸς σφόδρα, καθήμενος ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ. |
| 1:9 | Κύριος ⁹αὐτὸς ἔκτισεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἴδεν καὶ ἐξηρίθμησεν αὐτήν, (10)καὶ ἐξέχεεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, |
| 1:10 | μετὰ πάσης σαρκὸς κατὰ τὴν δόσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐχορήγησεν αὐτὴν τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν αὐτόν. |
| 1:11 | φόβος Κυρίου δόξα καὶ καύχημα καὶ εὐφροσύνη καὶ στέφανος ἀγαλλιάματος. |
| 1:12 | φόβος Κυρίου τέρψει καρδίαν, καὶ δώσει εὐφροσύνην καὶ χαρὰν καὶ μακροημέρευσιν. τῷ φοβουμένῳ τὸν κύριον εὖ ἔσται ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων, καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τελευτῆς αὐτοῦ εὑρήσει χάριν. |
| 1:14 | ἀρχὴ σοφίας φοβεῖσθαι τὸν θεόν, καὶ μετὰ πιστῶν ἐν μήτρᾳ συνεκτίσθη αὐτοῖς· |
| 1:15 | καὶ μετὰ ἀνθρώπων θεμέλιον αἰῶνος ἐνόσσευσεν, καὶ μετὰ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτῶν ἐμπιστευθήσεται. |
| 1:16 | πλησμονὴ σοφίας φοβεῖσθαι τὸν κύριον. καὶ μεθύσκει αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῆς· |
| 1:17 | πάντα τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς ἐμπλήσει ἐπιθυμημάτων, καὶ τὰ ἀποδοχεῖα ἀπὸ τῶν γενημάτων αὐτῆς. |
| 1:18 | στέφανος σοφίας φόβος Κυρίου, ἀναθάλλων εἰρήνην καὶ ὑγείαν ἰάσεως. |
| 1:19 | καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἐξηρίθμησεν αὐτήν, (24)ἐπιστήμην καὶ γνῶσιν συνέσεως ἐξώμβρησεν, καὶ δόξαν κρατούντων αὐτῆς ἀνύψωσεν. |
| 1:20 | ῥίζα σοφίας φοβεῖσθαι τὸν κύριον. καὶ οἱ κλάδοι αὐτῆς μακροημέρευσις. |
| 1:22 | Οὐ δυνήσεται θυμὸς ἄδικος δικαιωθῆναι· ἡ γὰρ ῥοπὴ τοῦ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ πτῶσις αὐτῷ. |
| 1:23 | ἕως καιροῦ ἀνθέξεται μακρόθυμος, καὶ ὕστερον αὐτῷ ἀναδώσει εὐφροσύνη· |
| 1:24 | ἕως καιροῦ κρύψει τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ, καὶ χείλη πιστῶν ἐκδιηγήσεται σύνεσιν αὐτοῦ. |
| 1:25 | ἐν θησαυροῖς σοφίας παραβολὴ· ἐπιστήμης, βδέλυγμα δὲ ἁμαρτωλῷ θεοσέβεια. |
| 1:26 | ἐπιθυμήσας σοφίαν διατήρησον ἐντολάς, καὶ Κύριος χορηγήσει σοι αὐτήν. |
| 1:27 | σοφία γὰρ καὶ παιδεία φόβος Κυρίρυ, καὶ ἡ εὐδοκία αὐτοῦ (35)πίστις καὶ πρᾳότης. |
| 1:28 | μὴ ἀπειθήσῃς φόβῳ Κυρίου, καὶ μὴ προσέλθῃς αὐτῷ ἐν καρδίᾳ δισσῇ. |
| 1:29 | μὴ ὑποκριθῇς ἐν στόμασιν ἀνθρώπαν, καὶ ἐν τοῖς χείλεσίν σου πρόσεχε. |
| 1:30 | μὴ ἐξύψου σεαυτόν, ἵνα μὴ πέσῃς καὶ ἐπαγάγῃς· τῇ ψυχῇ σου ἀτιμίαν, (39)καὶ ἀποκαλύψει Κύριος τὰ κρυπτά σου. καὶ ἐν μέσῳ συναγωγῆς καταβαλεῖ σε, (40)ὅτι οὐ προσῆλθες φόβῳ Κυρίου, καὶ ἡ καρδία σου πλήρης δόλου. |

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.
