| 15:1 | ὁ φοβούμενος Κύριον ποιήσει αὐτό, καὶ ὁ ἐγκρατὴς τοῦ νόμου καταλήμψεται αὐτήν· |
| 15:2 | καὶ ὑπαντήσεται αὐτῷ ὡς μήτηρ, καὶ ὡς γυνὴ παρθενείας προσδέξεται αὐτόν· |
| 15:3 | ψωμιεῖ αὐτὸν ἄρτον συνέσεως, καὶ ὕδωρ σοφίας ποτίσει αὐτόν· |
| 15:4 | στηριχθήσεται ἐπʼ αὐτὴν καὶ οὐ μὴ κλιθῇ, (4)καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῆς ἐφέξει καὶ οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ· |
| 15:5 | καὶ ὑψώσει αὐτὸν παρὰ τοὺς πλησίον αὐτοῦ, (5)καὶ ἐν μέσῳ ἐκκλησίας ἀνοίξει στόμα αὐτοῦ· |
| 15:6 | εὐφροσύνην καὶ στέφανον ἀγαλλιάματος καὶ ὄνομα αἰώνιον κατακληρονομήσει. |
| 15:7 | οὐ μὴ καταλήμψονται αὐτὴν ἄνθρωποι ἀσύνετοι, καὶ ἄνδρες ἁμαρτωλοὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδωσιν αὐτήν· |
| 15:8 | μακράν ἐστιν ὑπερηφανίας, (8)καὶ ἄνδρες ψεῦσται οὐ μὴ μνησθήσονται αὐτῆς. |
| 15:9 | Οὐχ ὡραῖος αἶνος ἐν στόματι ἁμαρτωλοῦ, (10)ὅτι οὐ παρὰ Κυρίου ἀπεστάλη· |
| 15:10 | ἐν γὰρ σοφίᾳ ῥηθήσεται αἶνος, καὶ ὁ κύριος εὐοδώσει αὐτόν. |
| 15:11 | μὴ εἴπῃς ὅτι Διὰ Κύριον ἀπέστην· ἃ γὰρ ἐμίσησεν, οὐ ποιήσεις. |
| 15:12 | μὴ εἴπῃς ὅτι Αὐτός με ἐπλάνησεν· οὐ γὰρ χρείαν ἔχει ἀνδρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ. |
| 15:13 | πᾶν βδέλυγμα ἐμίσησεν Κύριος. καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀγαπητὸν τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτόν. |
| 15:14 | αὐτὸς ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἐποίησεν ἄνθρωπον, καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὸν ἐν χειρὶ διαβουλίου αὐτοῦ. |
| 15:15 | ἐὰν θέλῃς, συντηρήσεις ἐντολάς, καὶ πίστιν ποίησαι εὐδοκίας. |
| 15:16 | παρέθηκέν σοι πῦρ καὶ ὕδαωρ, οὗ ἐὰν θέλῃς ἐκτενεῖς τὴν χεῖρά σου· |
| 15:17 | ἔναντι ἀνθρώπων ἡ ζωὴ καὶ ὁ θάνατος, καὶ ὁ ἐὰν εὐδοκήσῃ δοθήσεται αὐτῷ. |
| 15:18 | ὅτι πολλὴ σοφία τοῦ κυρίου· ἰσχυρὸς ἐν δυναστείᾳ καὶ βλέπων τὰ πάντα· |
| 15:19 | καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπιγνώσεται πᾶν ἔργον ἀνθρώπου· |
| 15:20 | καὶ οὐκ ἐνετείλατο οὐδενὶ ἀσεβεῖν, καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκεν ἄνεσιν οὐδενὶ ἁμαρτάνειν. |

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.
