| 9:1 | Μὴ ζήλου γυναῖκα τοῦ κόλπου σου, μηδὲ διδάξῃς ἐπὶ σεαυτὸν παιδείαν πονηράν |
| 9:2 | μὴ δῷς γυναικὶ τὴν ψυχήν σου, ἐπιβῆναι αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὴν ἰσχύν σου. |
| 9:3 | μὴ ὑπάντα γυναικὶ ἑταιριζομένῃ, μή ποτε ἐμπέσῃς εἰς τὰς παγίδας αὐτῆς. |
| 9:4 | μετὰ ψαλλούσης μὴ ἐνδελέχιζε. μή ποτε ἁλῷς ἐν τοῖς ἐπιχειρήμασιν αὐτῆς. |
| 9:5 | παρθένον μὴ καταμάνθανε, μή ποτε σκανδαλισθῇς ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτιμίοις αὐτῆς. |
| 9:6 | μὴ δῷς πόρναις τὴν ψυχήν σου, ἵνα μὴ ἀπολέσῃς τὴν κληρονομίαν σου. |
| 9:7 | μὴ περιβλέπου ἐν ῥύμαις πόλεως, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἐρήμοις αὐτῆς μὴ πλανῶ. |
| 9:8 | ἀπόστρεψον ὀφθαλμὸν ἀπὸ γυναικὸς εὐμόρφου. καὶ μὴ καταμάνθανε κάλλος ἀλλότριον· (9)ἐν κάλλει γυναικὸς πολλοὶ ἐπλανήθησαν, καὶ ἐκ τούτου φιλία ὡς πῦρ ἀνακαίεται. |
| 9:9 | μετὰ ὑπάνδρου γυναικὸς μὴ κάθου τὸ σύνολον, (13)καὶ μὴ συμβολοκοπήσῃς μετʼ αὐτῆς ἐν οἴνῳ· μή ποτε ἐκκλίνῃ ἡ ψυχὴ σου ἐπʼ αὐτήν, καὶ τῷ πνεύματί σου ὀλισθήσῃς εἰς ἀπώλειαν. |
| 9:10 | Μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς φίλον ἀρχαῖον, ὁ γὰρ πρόσφατος οὐκ ἔστιν ἔφισος αὐτῷ· (15)οἶνος νέος φίλος νέος· ἐὰν παλαιωθῇ, μετʼ εὐφροσύνης πίεσαι αὐτόν. |
| 9:11 | μὴ ζηλώσῃς δόξαν ἁμαρτωλοῦ· οὐ γὰρ οἶδας τί ἔσται ἡ καταστροφὴ αὐτοῦ. |
| 9:12 | μὴ εὐδοκήσῃς ἐν εὐδοκίᾳ ἀσεβῶν, μνήσθητι ὅτι ἕως ᾅδου οὐ μὴ δικαιωθῶσιν. |
| 9:13 | μακρὰν ἄπεχε ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ὃς ἔχει ἐξουσίαν τοῦ φονεῦσαι, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὑποπτεύσῃς φόβον θανάτου· (19)κἂν προσέλθῃς, μὴ πλημμελήσῃς. ἵνα μὴ ἀφέληται τὴν ζωήν σου· (20)ἐπίγνωθι ὅτι ἐν μέσῳ παγίδων διαβαίνεις, καὶ ἐπὶ ἐπάλξεων πόλεων περιπατεῖς. |
| 9:14 | κατὰ τὴν ἰσχύν σου στόχασαι τοὺς πλησίον, καὶ μετὰ σοφῶν συμβουλεύου· |
| 9:15 | καὶ μετὰ συνετῶν ἔστω ὁ διαλογισμός σου, καὶ πᾶσα διήγησίς σου ἐν νόμῳ Ὑψίστου. |
| 9:16 | ἄυδρες δίκαιοι ἔσταοσαν σύνδειπνοί σου, καὶ ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου ἔστω τὸ καύχημά σου. |
| 9:17 | ἐν χειρὶ τεχνικῶν ἔργον ἐπαινεσθήσεται, καὶ ὁ ἡγούμενος λαοῦ σοφὸς ἐν λόγῳ αὐτοῦ. |

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.
