| 19:1 | ἐργάτης μέθυσος οὐ πλουτισθήσεται· ὁ ἐξουθενῶν τὰ ὀλίγα κατὰ μικρὸν πεσεῖται. |
| 19:2 | οἶνος καὶ γυναῖκες ἀποστήσουσιν συνετούς, καὶ ὁ κολλώμενος πόρναις τολμηρότερος ἔσται· |
| 19:3 | σήπη καὶ σκώληκες κληρονομήσουσιν αὐτόν, καὶ ψυχὴ τολμηρὰ ἐξαρθήσεται. |
| 19:4 | ὁ ταχὺ ἐνπιστεύων κοῦφος καρδίᾳ, καὶ ὁ ἁμαρτάνων εἰς ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ πλημμελήσει. |
| 19:5 | ὁ εὐφραινόμενος καρδίᾳ καταγναωσθήσεται, |
| 19:6 | καὶ ὁ μισῶν λαλιὰν ἐλαττονοῦται κακίᾳ. |
| 19:7 | μηδέποτε δευτερώσῃς λόγον, καὶ οὐθέν σοι οὐ μὴ ἐλαττονωθῇ. |
| 19:8 | ἐν φἰλῳ καὶ ἐν ἐχθρῷ μὴ διηγοῦ, καὶ εἰ μή ἐστίν σοι ἁμαρτία, μὴ ἀποκάλυπτε· |
| 19:9 | ἀκήκοεν γάρ σου καὶ ἐφυλάξατό σε, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ μισήσει σε. |
| 19:10 | ἀκήκοας λόγον ; συναποθανέτω σοι· θάρσει, οὐ μή σε ῥήξει. |
| 19:11 | ἀπὸ προσώπου λόγου ὠδινήσει μαωρός, ὡς ἀπὸ προσώπου βρέφους ἡ τίκτουσα. |
| 19:12 | βέλος πεπηγὸς ἐν μηρῷ σαρκός, οὕτως λόγος ἐν κοιλίᾳ μωροῦ. |
| 19:13 | Ἔλεγξον φίλον, μή ποτε οὐκ ἐποίησεν, καὶ εἴ τι ἐποίησεν, μή ποτε προσθῇ. |
| 19:14 | ἔλεγξον τὸν φίλον, μὴ ποτε οὐκ εἶπεν· καὶ εἰ εἴρηκεν, ἵνα μὴ δευτερώσῃ. |
| 19:15 | ἔλεγξον φίλον, πολλάκις γὰρ γίνεται διαβολή, (¹⁶)καὶ μὴ παντὶ λόγῳ πίστευε. |
| 19:16 | ἔστιν ὀλισθάνων καὶ οὐκ ἀπὸ ψυχῆς, (17)καὶ τίς οὐχ ἥμαρτεν ἐν τῇ γλώσσῃ αὐτοῦ; |
| 19:17 | ἔλεγξον τὸν πλησίον σου πρὶν ἢ ἀπειλῆσαι, (18)καὶ δὸς τόπον νόμῳ Ὑψίστου. |
| 19:20 | Πᾶσα σοφία φόβος Κυρίου, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ ποίησις νόμου. |
| 19:22 | καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν σοφία πονηρίας ἐπιστήμη, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὅπου βουλὴ ἁμαρτωλῶν φρόνησις. |
| 19:23 | ἔστιν πονηρία καὶ αὕτη βδέλυγμα, καὶ ἔστιν ἄφρων ἐλαττούμενος σοφίᾳ. |
| 19:24 | κρείττων ἡττώμενος ἐν συνέσει ἔμφοβος ἢ περισσεύων ἐν φρονήσει καὶ παραβαίνων νόμον. |
| 19:25 | ἔστιν πανουργία ἀκριβὴς καὶ αὕτη ἄδικος, καὶ ἔστιν διαστρέφων χάριν τοῦ ἐκφᾶναι κρίμα. |
| 19:26 | ἔστιν πονηρευόμενος συνκεκυφὼς μελανίᾳ, καὶ τὰ ἐντὸς αὐτοῦ πλήρης δόλου· |
| 19:27 | συνκύφων πρόσωπον καὶ ἑτεροκαωφῶν, ὅπου οὐκ ἐπεγνώσθη προφθάσει σε· |
| 19:28 | καὶ ἐὰν ὑπὸ ἐλαττώματος ἰσχύος κωλυθῇ ἁμαρτεῖν, ἐὰν εὕρῃ καιρὸν κακοποιήσει. |
| 19:29 | ἀπὸ ὁράσεως ἐπιγνωσθήσεται ἀνήρ, καὶ ἀπὸ ἀπαντήσεως προσώπου ἐπιγνωσθήσεται νοήμων· |
| 19:30 | στολισμὸς ἀνδρὸς καὶ γέλως ὀδόντων καὶ βήματα ἀνθρώπου ἀναγγέλλει τὰ περὶ 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.
