| 21:1 | Τέκνον, ἥμαρτες μὴ προσθῇς μηκέτι, καὶ περὶ τῶν προτέρων σου δεήθητι. |
| 21:2 | ὡς ἀπὸ προσώπου ὄφεως φεῦγε ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας· ἐὰν γὰρ προσέλθῃς, δήξεταί σε· (3)ὀδόντες λέοντος οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτῆς, ἀναιροῦντες ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων. |
| 21:3 | ὡς ῥομφαία δίστομος πᾶσα ἀνομία, τῇ πληγῇ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις. |
| 21:4 | καταπληγμὸς καὶ ὕβρις ἐρημώσουσιν πλοῦτον, οὕτως οἶκος ὑπερηφάνου ἐρημωθήσεται. |
| 21:5 | δέησις πτωχοῦ ἐκ στόματος ἕως ὠτίων αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ κρίμα αὐτοῦ κατὰ σπουδὴν ἔρχεται. |
| 21:6 | μισῶν ἐλεγμὸν ἐν ἴχνει ἁμαρτωλοῦ, καὶ ὁ φοβούμενος Κύριον ἐπιστρέψει ἐν καρδίᾳ. |
| 21:7 | γνωστὸς μακρόθεν ὁ δυνατὸς ἐν γλώσσῃ, ὁ δὲ νοήμων οἶδεν ἐν τῷ ὀλισθάνειν αὐτόν. |
| 21:8 | ὁ οἰκοδομῶν τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ ἐν χρήμασιν ἀλλοτρίοις ὡς συνάγων αὐτοῦ τοὺς λίθους εἰς χειμῶνα. |
| 21:9 | στιππύον συνηγμένον συναγααωγὴ ἀνόμων, καὶ ἡ συντέλεια αὐτῶν φλὸξ πυρός. |
| 21:10 | ὁδὸς ἁμαρτωλῶν ὡμαλισμένη ἐκ λίθων, καὶ ἐπʼ ἐσχάτῳ αὐτῆς βόθρος ᾅδου. |
| 21:11 | ὁ φυλάσσων νόμον κατακρατεῖ τοῦ ἐννοήματος αὐτοῦ, (13)καὶ συντέλεια τοῦ φόβου Κυρίου σοφία. |
| 21:12 | 12οὐ παιδευθήσεται ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν πανοῦργος· (15)ἔστιν πανουργία πληθύνουσα πικρίαν. |
| 21:13 | γνῶσις σοφοῦ ὡς κατακλυσμὸς πληθυνθήσεται, καὶ ἡ βουλὴ αὐτοῦ ὡς πηγὴ ζωῆς. |
| 21:14 | ἔγκατα μωροῦ ὡς ἅγγιον συντετριμμένον, καὶ πᾶσαν γνῶσιν οὐ κρατήσει. |
| 21:15 | λόγον σοφὸν ἐὰν ἀκούσῃ ἐπιστήμων, αἰνέσει αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτὸν προσθήσει· ἤκουσεν ὁ σπαταλῶν καὶ ἀπήρεσεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν αὐτὸν ὀπίσω τοῦ νώτου αὐτοῦ. |
| 21:16 | ἐξήγησις μωροῦ ὡς ἐν ὁδῷ φορτίον, ἐπὶ δὲ χείλους συνετοῦ εὑρεθήσεται χάρις. |
| 21:17 | στόμα φρονίμου ζητηθήσεται ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ. καὶ τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ διανοηθήσεται ἐν καρδίᾳ. |
| 21:18 | ὡς οἶκος ἠφανισμένος οὕτως μωρῷ σοφία, καὶ γνῶσις ἀσυνέτου ἀδιεξέταστοι λόγοι. |
| 21:19 | πέδαι ἐν ποσὶν ἀνοήτοις παιδεία, καὶ ὡς χειροπέδαι ἐπὶ χειρὸς δεξιᾶς. |
| 21:20 | μωρὸς ἐν γέλωτι ἀνυψοῖ φωνὴν αὐτοῦ, ἀνὴρ δὲ πανοῦργος μόλις ἡσυχῇ μειδιάσει. |
| 21:21 | ὡς κόσμος χρυσοῦς φρονίμῳ παιδεία, καὶ ὡς χλιδὼν ἐπὶ βραχίονι δεξιῷ. |
| 21:22 | ποὺς μωροῦ ταχὺς εἰς οἰκίαν, ἄνθρωπος δὲ πολύπειρος αἰσχυνθήσεται ἀπὸ προσώἄφρων |
| 21:23 | ἀπὸ θύρας παρακύπτει εἰς οἰκίαν, ἀνήρ δὲ πεπαιδευμένος ἔξω στήσεται. |
| 21:24 | ἀπαιδευσία ἀνθρώπου ἀκροᾶσθαι παρὰ θύραν, ὁ δὲ φρόνιμος βαρυνθήσεται ἀτιμίᾳ. |
| 21:25 | χείλη ἀλλοτρίων ἐν τούτοις βαρυνθήσεται, λόγοι δὲ φρονίμων ἐν ζυγῷ σταθήσονται. |
| 21:26 | ἐν στόματι μωρῶν ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν, καρδία δὲ σοφῶν στόμα αὐτῶν. |
| 21:27 | ἐν τῷ καταρᾶσθαι ἀσεβῆ τὸν σατανᾶν αὐτὸς καταρᾶται τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν. |
| 21:28 | μολύνει τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχὴν ὁ ψιθυρίζων. καὶ ἐν παροικήσει μισηθήσεται. |

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.
