| 14:1 | Μακάριος ἀνὴρ ὃς οὐκ ὠλίσθησεν ἐν στόματι αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐ κατενύγη ἐν λύπῃ ἁμαρτίας· |
| 14:2 | μακάριος οὗ οὐ κατέγνω ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὃς οὐκ ἔπεσεν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐλπίδος αὐτοῦ. |
| 14:3 | ἀνδρὶ μικρολόγῳ οὐ καλὸς ὁ πλοῦτος, καὶ ἀνθρώπῳ βασκάνῳ ἵνα τί χρήματα ; |
| 14:4 | ὁ συνάγων ἀπὸ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ συνάγει ἄλλοις, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς αὐτοῦ τρυφήσουσιν ἕτεροι. |
| 14:5 | ὁ πονηρὸς ἑαυτῷ τίνι ἀγαθὸς ἔσται; καὶ οὐ μὴ εὐφρανθήσεται ἐν τοῖς χρήμασιν αὐτοῦ. |
| 14:6 | τοῦ βασκαίνοντος ἑαυτὸν οὐκ ἔστιν πονηρότερος, καὶ τοῦτο ἀνταπόδομα τῆς κακίας αὐτοῦκἂν |
| 14:7 | εὖ ποιῇ, ἐν λήθῃ ποιεῖ, καὶ ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων ἐκφαίνει τὴν κακίαν αὐτοῦ. |
| 14:8 | πονηρὸς ὁ βασκαίνων ὀφθαλμῷ, ἀποστρέφων πρόσαωπον καὶ ὑπερορῶν ψυχάς. |
| 14:9 | πλεονέκτου ὀφθαλμὸς οὐκ ἐμπίπλαται μερίδι, καὶ ἀδικία πονηρὰ ἀναξηρανεῖ ψυχήν. |
| 14:10 | ὀφθαλμὸς πονηρὸς φθονερὸς ἐπʼ ἄρτῳ, καὶ ἐνλιπὴς ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης αὐτοῦ. |
| 14:11 | Τέκνον, καθὼς ἐὰν ἔχῃς εὖ ποίει σεαυτόν, καὶ προσφορὰς Κυρίῳ ἀξίως πρόσαγε· |
| 14:12 | μνήσθητι ὅτι θάνατος οὐ χρονιεῖ, καὶ διαθήκη ἅδου οὐχ ὑπεδείχθη σοι· |
| 14:13 | πρίν σε τελευτῆσαι εὖ ποίει φίλῳ, καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἰσχύν σου ἔκτεινον καὶ δὸς αὐτῷ. |
| 14:14 | μὴ ἀφυστερήσῃς ἀπὸ ἀγαθῆς ἡμέρας. καὶ μερὶς ἐπιθυμίας ἀγαθῆς μή σε παρελθάτω. |
| 14:15 | οὐχὶ ἑτέρῳ καταλείψεις τοὺς πόνους σου, καὶ τοὺς κόπους σου εἰς διαίρεσιν κλήρου; |
| 14:16 | δὸς καὶ λάβε, καὶ ἀπάτησον τὴν ψυχὴν σου, (17)ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ᾅδου ζητῆσαι τρυφήν. |
| 14:17 | πᾶσα σὰρξ ὡς ἱμάτιον παλαιοῦται· (12)ἡ γὰρ διαθήκη ἀπʼ αἰῶνος Θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ. |
| 14:18 | ὡς φύλλον θάλλον ἐπὶ δένδρου δασέος, (19)τὰ μὲν καταβάλλει, ἄλλα δὲ φύει· οὕτως γενεὰ σαρκὸς καὶ αἵματος, ἡ μὲν τελευτᾷ, ἑτέρα δέ γεννᾶται. |
| 14:19 | τᾶν ἔργον σηπόμενον ἐκλείπει, καὶ ὁ ἐργαζόμενος αὐτὸ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἀπελεύσεται. |
| 14:20 | Μακάριος ἀνὴρ ὃς ἐν σοφίᾳ τελευτήσει, καὶ ὃς ἐν συνέσει αὐτοῦ διαλεχθήσεται· |
| 14:21 | ὁ διανοούμενος τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῆς ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀποκρύφοις αὐτῆς νοηθήσεται. |
| 14:22 | ἔξελθε ὀπίσω αὐτῆς ὡς ἰχνευτής, καὶ ἐν ταῖς εἰσόδοις αὐτῆς ἐνέδρευε. |
| 14:23 | ὁ παρακύπτων διὰ τῶν θυρίδων αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν θυρωμάτων αὐτῆς ἀκροάσεται· |
| 14:24 | ὁ καταλύων σύνεγγυς τοῦ οἴκου αὐτῆς, καὶ πήξει πάσσαλον ἐν τοῖς τοίχοις αὐτῆς· |
| 14:25 | στήσει τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ κατὰ χεῖρας αὐτῆς, καὶ καταλύσει ἐν καταλύματι ἀγαθῶν· |
| 14:26 | θήσει τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ σκέπῃ αὐτῆς, καὶ ὑπὸ τοὺς κλάδους αὐτῆς αὐλισθήσεται· |
| 14:27 | σκεπασθήσεται ὑπʼ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ καύματος, καὶ ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτῆς καταλύσει. |

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.
