| 5:1 | μὴ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ τοῖς χρήμασίν σου, καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς Αὐτάρκη μοί ἐστιν. |
| 5:2 | μὴ ἐξακολούθει τῇ ψυχῇ σου καὶ τῇ ἰσχύι σου, πορεύεσθαι ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις καρδίας σου· |
| 5:3 | καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς Τίς με δυναστεύσει; ὁ γὰρ κύριος ἐκδικῶν ἐκδικήσει σε. |
| 5:4 | μὴ εἴπῃς Ἥμαρτον, καὶ τί μοι ἐγένετο ; ὁ γὰρ κύριός ἐστιν μακρόθυμος. |
| 5:5 | περὶ ἐξιλασμοῦ μὴ ἄφοβος γίνου. προσθεῖναι ἁμαρτίαν ἐφʼ ἁμαρτίαις· |
| 5:6 | καὶ μὴ εἴπῃς Ο οἰκτειρμὸς αὐτοῦ πολύς, τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου ἐξιλάσεται· (7)ἔλεος γὰρ καὶ ὀργὴ παρʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ ἁμαρτωλοὺς καταπαύσει ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ· |
| 5:7 | μὴ ἀνάμενε ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ μὴ ὑπερβάλλου ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας· (9)ἐξάπινα γὰρ ἐξελεύσεται ὀργὴ Κυρίου. καὶ ἐν καιρῷ ἐκδικήσεως ἐξολῇ. |
| 5:8 | μὴ ἔπεχε ἐπὶ χρήμασιν ἀδίκοις· οὐδὲν γὰρ ὠφελήσεις ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπαγωγῆς |
| 5:9 | μὴ λίκμα ἐν παντὶ ἀνέμῳ, καὶ μὴ πορεύου ἐν πάσῃ ἀτραπῷ· οὕτως ὁ ἁμαρτωλὸς ὁ δίγλωσσος. |
| 5:10 | ἵσθι ἐστηριγμένος ἐν συνέσει σου, καὶ εἷς ἔστω σου ὁ λόγος. |
| 5:11 | γίνου ταχὺς ἐν ἀκροάσει σου, καὶ ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ φθέγγου ἀπόκρισιν. |
| 5:12 | εἰ ἔστιν σοι σύνεσις, ἀποκρίθητι τῷ πλησίον· εἰ δὲ μή, ἡ χείρ σου ἔστω ἐπὶ στόματί σου. |
| 5:13 | δόξα καὶ ἀτιμία ἐν λαλιᾷ, καὶ γλῶσσα ἀνθρώπου πτῶσις αὐτῷ. |
| 5:14 | μὴ κληθῇς ψίθυρος, καὶ τῇ γλώσσῃ σου μὴ ἐνεδρευθῇς· (17)ἐπὶ γὰρ τῷ κλέπτῃ ἐστὶν αἰσχύνη, καὶ κατάγνωσις πονηρὰ ἐπὶ διγλώσσου. |
| 5:15 | ἐν μεγάλῳ καὶ ἐν μικρῷ μὴ ἀγνόει, |

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.
