| 10:1 | Κριτὴς σοφὸς παιδεύσει τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡγεμονία συνετοῦ τεταγμένη ἔσται. |
| 10:2 | κατὰ τὸν κριτὴν τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ οὕτως καὶ οἱ λειτουργοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατὰ τὸν ἡγούμενον τῆς πόλεως πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες αὐτὴν. |
| 10:3 | βασιλεὺς ἀπαίδευτος ἀπολεῖ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πόλις οἰκισθήσεται ἐν συνέσει δυναστῶν. |
| 10:4 | ἐν χειρὶ Κυρίου ἐξουσία τῆς γῆς. καὶ τὸν χρήσιμον ἐγερεῖ εἰς καιρὸν ἐπʼ αὐτῆς. |
| 10:5 | ἐν χειρὶ Κυρίου εὐοδία ἀνδρός, καὶ προσώπῳ γραμματέως ἐπιθήσει δόξαν αὐτοῦ. |
| 10:6 | Ἐπὶ παντὶ ἀδικήματι μὴ μηνιάσῃς τῷ πλησίον, καὶ μὴ πρᾶσσε μηδὲν ἐν ἔργοις ὕβρεως. |
| 10:7 | μισητὴ ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ ἀνθρώπων ὑπερηφανία, καὶ ἐξ ἀμφοτέρων πλημμελήσει ἄδικα. |
| 10:8 | βασιλεία ἀπὸ ἔθνους εἰς ἔθνος μετάγεται διὰ ἀδικίας καὶ ὕβρεις καὶ χρήματα. |
| 10:9 | τί ὑπερηφανεύεται γῆ καὶ σποδός; ὅτι ἐν ζωῇ ἔρριψα τὰ ἐνδόσθια αὐτοῦ. |
| 10:10 | μακρὸν ἀρρώστημα, σκώπτει ἰατρός· καὶ βασιλεὺς σήμερον, καὶ αὔριον τελευτήσει. |
| 10:11 | ἐν γὰρ τῷ ἀποθανεῖν ἄνθρωπον κληρονομήσει ἑρπετὰ καὶ θηρία, σκώληκας. |
| 10:12 | ἀρχὴ ὑπερηφανίας ἀνθρώπου ἀφισταμένου ἀπὸ Κυρίου, (15)καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ποιήσαντος αὐτὸν ἀπέστη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ. |
| 10:13 | ὅτι ἀρχὴ ὑπερηφανίας ἁμαρτία, καὶ ὁ κρατῶν αὐτῆς ἐξομβρήσει βδέλυγμα. (16)διὰ τοῦτο παρεδόξασεν Κύριος τὰς ἐπαγωγάς. καὶ κατέστρεψεν εἰς τέλος αὐτοὺς· |
| 10:14 | θρόνους ἀρχόντων καθεῖλεν ὁ κύριος. καὶ ἐκάθισεν πρᾳεῖς ἀντʼ αὐτῶν· |
| 10:15 | ῥίζας ἐθνῶν ἐξέτιλεν ὁ κύριος. καὶ ἐφύτευσεν ταπεινοὺς ἀντʼ αὐτῶν· |
| 10:16 | χώρας ἐθνῶν κατέστρεψεν ὁ κύριος. καὶ ἀπώλεσεν αὐτὰς ἕως θεμελίων γῆς· |
| 10:17 | ἐξήρανεν ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπώλεσεν αὐτούς, καὶ κατέπαυσεν ἀπὸ γῆς τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν. |
| 10:18 | οὐκ ἔκτισται ἀνθρώποις ὑπερηφανία, οὐδὲ ὀργὴ θυμοῦ γεννήμασιν γυναικῶν. |
| 10:19 | σπέρμα ἔντιμον ποῖον; σπέρμα ἀνθρώπου· σπέρμα ἔντιμον ποῖον; οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον. σπέρμα ἄτιμον ποῖον; σπέρμα ἀνθρώπου· σπέρμα ἄτιμον ποῖον; οἱ παραβαίνοντες ἐντολάς. |
| 10:20 | ἐν μέσῳ ἀδελφῶν ὁ ἡγούμενος αὐτῶν ἔντιμος. καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι Κύριον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ. |
| 10:22 | γτλούσιος καὶ ἔνδοξος καὶ πτωχός, τὸ καύχημα αὐτῶν φόβος Κυρίου. |
| 10:23 | οὐ δίκαιον ἀτιμάσαι πτωχὸν συνετόν, καὶ οὐ καθῆκεν δοξάσαι ἄνδρα ἁμαρτωλόν. |
| 10:24 | μεγιστὰν καὶ κριτὴς καὶ δυνάστης δοξασθήσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῶν τις μείζων τοῦ φοβουμένου τὸν κύριον. |
| 10:25 | οἰκέτῃ σοφῷ ἐλεύθεροι λειτουργήσουσιν, καὶ ἀνὴρ ἐπιστήμων οὐ γογγύσει. |
| 10:26 | Μὴ σοφίζου ποιῆσαι τὸ ἔργον σου, καὶ μὴ δοξάζου ἐν καιρῷ στενοχωρίας σου. |
| 10:27 | κρείσσων ἐργαζόμενος ἐν πᾶσιν ἢ περιπατῶν, ἢ δοξαζόμενος καὶ ἀπορῶν ἄρτων. |
| 10:28 | τέκνον, ἐν πρᾳύτητι δόξασον τὴν ψυχήν σου, καὶ δὸς αὐτῇ τιμὴν κατὰ τὴν ἀξίαν αὐτῆς. |
| 10:29 | τὸν ἁμαρτάνοντα εἰς τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ τίς δικαιώσει; καὶ τίς δοξάσει τὸν ἀτιμάζοντα τὴν ζωὴν αὐτοῦ; |
| 10:30 | πτωχὸς δοξάζεται δι᾿ ἐπιστήμην αὐτοῦ, καὶ πλούσιος δοξάζεται διὰ τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτοῦ. |
| 10:31 | ὁ δὲ δοξαζόμενος ἐν πτωχείᾳ, καὶ ἐν πλούτῳ ποσαχῶς; καὶ ὁ ἄδοξος ἐν πλούτῳ, ἐν πτωχείᾳ ποσαχῶς |

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.
