| 25:1 | Ἐν τρισὶν ὡραίσθην καὶ ἀνέστην ὡραία ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ ἀνθρώπων· (2)ὁμόνοια ἀδελφῶν, καὶ φιλία τῶν πλησίον, καὶ γυνὴ καὶ ἀνὴρ ἑαυτοῖς συνπεριφερόμενοι |
| 25:2 | τρία δὲ εἴδη ἐμίσησεν ἡ ψυχὴ μου καὶ προσώχθισα σφόδρα τῇ ζωῇ αὐτῶνεττωχὸν (4)ὑπερήφανον, καὶ πλούσιον ψεύστην, γέροντα μοιχὸν ἐλαττούμενον συνέσει. |
| 25:3 | ἐν νεότητι οὐ συναγίοχας, καὶ πῶς ἂν εὕροις ἐν τῷ γήρᾳ σου; |
| 25:4 | ὡς ὡραῖον πολιαῖς κρίσις, καὶ πρεσβυτέροις ἐπιγνῶναι βουλήν· |
| 25:5 | ὡς ὡραία γερόντων σοφία, καὶ δεδοξασμένοις διανόημα καὶ βουλή. |
| 25:6 | στέφανος γερόντων πολυπειρία, καὶ τὸ καύχημα αὐτῶν φόβος Κυρίου. |
| 25:7 | Ἐννέα ὑπονοήματα ἐμακάρισα ἐν καρδίᾳ, καὶ τὸ δέκατον ἐρῶ ἐπὶ γλώσσης· (10)Μνθρωπος εὐφραινόμενος ἐπὶ τέκνοις, ζῶυ καὶ βλέπων ἐπὶ πτώσει ἐχθρῶν· |
| 25:8 | μακάριος ὁ συνοικῶν γυναικὶ συνετῇ, καὶ ὸς ἐν γλωσσῃ οὐκ λίσθησεν, καὶ ὅς οὐκ ἐδούλευσεν ἀναξίῳ αὐτοῦ· |
| 25:9 | μακάριος ὁς εὗρεν φρόνησιν, καὶ ὁ διηγούμενος εἰς ὥτα ἀκουόντων· |
| 25:10 | ὁὡι μέγας ὁ εὑρών σοφίαν, ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἔστιν ὑπέρ τὸν φοβούμενον τὸν κύριον· |
| 25:11 | φόβος Κυρίου ὑπέρ πᾶν ὑπερέβαλεν, ὁ κρατῶυ αὐτοῦ τίνι ὁμοιωθήσεται; |
| 25:13 | Ιᾶσαν πληγήν, καὶ μὴ πληγὴν καρδίας· καὶ πᾶσαν πονηρίαν, καὶ μὴ πονηρίαν γυναικῆς· |
| 25:14 | ετᾶσαν ἐπαγωγήν, καὶ μὴ ἐπαγωγὴν μισούντων· (21)καὶ πᾶσαν ἐκδίκησιν, καὶ μὴ ἐκδίκησιν ἐχθρῶν. |
| 25:15 | οὐκ ἔστιν κεφαλὴ ὑπὲρ κεφαλὴν ὄφεως, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν θυμὸς ὑπέρ θυμὸν ἐχθροῦ. |
| 25:16 | συνοικῆσαι λέοντι καὶ δράκοντι εὐδοκήσω ἤ ἐνοικῆσαι μετὰ γυναικὸς πονηρᾶς. |
| 25:17 | πονηρία γυναικὸς ἀλλοιοῖ τὴν ὄρασιν αὐτῆς, καὶ σκοτοῖ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς ὡς σάκκον· |
| 25:18 | ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ (25)ἀναπεσεῖται ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀκούσας ἀνεστέναξεν πικρά. |
| 25:19 | μικρὰ πᾶσα κακία πρὸς κακίαν γυναικός, κλῆρος ἁμαρτωλοῦ ἐπιπέσοι αὐτῇ. |
| 25:20 | ἀνάβασις ἀμμώδης ἐν ποσὶν πρεσβυτέρου, οὕτως γυνὴ γλωσσώδης ἀνδρὶ ἡσύχᾳῃλ |
| 25:21 | μὴ προσπέσῃς ἐπὶ κάλλος γυναικός, καὶ γυναῖκα μὴ ἐπιποθήσῃς. |
| 25:22 | ὀργὴ καὶ ἀναίδεια καὶ αἰσχύνη μεγάλη πγυνὴ ἐὰν ἐπιχορηγῇ τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς. |
| 25:23 | καρδία ταπεινὴ καὶ πρόσωπον σκυθρωπὸν καὶ πληγὴ καρδίας γυνὴ πονηρά· (32)χεῖρες παρειμέναι καὶ γόνατα παραλελυμένα, ἥτις οὐ μακαριεῖ τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς. |
| 25:24 | ἀπὸ γυναικὸς ἀρχὴ ἁμαρτίας. καὶ δι αὐτὴν ἀποθνήσκομεν πάντες. |
| 25:25 | μὴ δῷς υδατι διέξοδον, μηδέ γυναικὶ πονηρῷ ἐξουσίαν· |
| 25:26 | εἰ μὴ πορεύεται κατὰ χεῖρά σου, (36)ἀπὸ τῶν σαρκῶν σου ἀπότεμε αὐτήν. |

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.
