| 28:1 | ὁ ἐκδικῶν παρὰ Κυρίου εὑρήσει ἐκδίκησιν, καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ διαστηριῶν διαστηρίσει. |
| 28:2 | ἄφες ἀδίκημα τῷ πλησίον σου, καὶ τότε δεηθέντος σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου λυθήσονται. |
| 28:3 | ἄνθρωπος ἀνθρώπῳ συντηρεῖ ὀργὴν, καὶ παρὰ Κυρίου ζητεῖ ἵασιν |
| 28:4 | ἐπ ἄνθρωπον ὅμοιον αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔχει ἔλεος, καὶ περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτοῦ δεῖται; |
| 28:5 | αὐτὸς σὰρξ ὧν διατηρεῖ μῆνιν, τίς ἐξιλάσεται τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ; |
| 28:6 | μνήσθητι τὰ ἔσχατα καὶ παῦσαι ἐχθραίνων, (7)καταφθορὰν καὶ θάνατον, καὶ ἔμμενε ἐντολαῖς. |
| 28:7 | μνήσθητι ἐντολῶν καὶ μὴ μηνίσῃς τῷ πλησίον, (9)καὶ διαθήκην Ὑψίστου, καὶ πάριδε ἄγνοιαν. |
| 28:8 | Ἀπόσχου ἀπὸ μάχης. καὶ ἐλαττώσεις ἁμαρτίας· Μνθρωπος γὰρ θυμώδης ἐκκαύσει μάχην. |
| 28:9 | καὶ ἀνὴρ ἁμαρτωλὸς ταράξει φίλους, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον εἰρηνευόντων ἐκβάλλει διαβολήν. |
| 28:10 | κατὰ τὴν ὕλην πυρὸς οὕτως ἐκκαυθήσεται, κατὰ τὴν ἰσχὺν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ ἔσται· καὶ κατὰ τὸν πλούτου ἀνυψώσει ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατὰ τὴν στερέωσιν τῆς μάχης ἐκκαυθήrτεται. |
| 28:11 | ἔρις κατασπευδομένη ἐκκαίει πῦρ, καὶ μάχη κατασπεύδουσα ἐκχέει αἶμα. |
| 28:12 | ἐὰν φυσήσῃς σπινθῆρα ἐκκαήσεται, καὶ ἐὰν πτύσῃς ἐπʼ αὐτὸν σβεσθήσεται· καὶ ἀμφότερα ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου ἐκπορεύεται. |
| 28:13 | ψίθυρον καὶ δίγλωσσον καταρᾶσθε, πολλοὺς γὰρ εἰρηνεύοντας ἀπώλεσαν. |
| 28:14 | γλῶσσα τρίτη πολλοὺς ἐσάλευσεν καὶ διέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ ἔθνους εἰς ἔθνος, (17)καὶ πόλεις ὀχυρὰς καθεῖλεν, καὶ οἰκίας μεγιστάνων κατέστρεψεν· |
| 28:15 | γλῶσσα τρίτη γυναῖκας ἀνδρείας ἐξέβαλεν, καὶ ἐστέρεσεν αὐτὰς τῶν πόνων αὐτῶν· |
| 28:16 | ὁ προσέχων αὐτῇ οὐ μὴ εὕρῃ ἀνάπαυσιν, οὐδὲ κατασκηνάσει μεθʼ ἡσυχίας. |
| 28:17 | πληγὴ μάστιγος ποιεῖ μώλωπας, πληγὴ δέ γλώσσης συνκλάσει ὀστᾶ. |
| 28:18 | ὅλοι ἔπεσαν ἐν στόματι μαχαίρας. καὶ οὐχ ὡς οἱ πεπτωκότες διὰ γλῶσσαν. |
| 28:19 | μακάριος ὁ σκεπασθεὶς ἀπʼ αὐτῆς, ὁς οὐ διῆλθεν ἐν τῷ θυμῷ αὐτῆς, ὁς οὐχ εἵλκυσεν τὸν ζυγὸν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς αὐτῆς οὐκ ἐδέθη· |
| 28:20 | ὁ γὰρ ζυγὸς αὐτῆς ζυγὸς σιδηροῦς. καὶ οἱ δεσμοὶ αὐτῆς δεσμοὶ χαλκεῖοι· |
| 28:21 | θάνατος πονηρὸς ὁ θάνατος αὐτῆς, καὶ λυσιτελὴς μᾶλλον ὁ ἄδης αὐτῆς. |
| 28:22 | οὐ μὴ κρατήσῃ εὐσεβῶν, καὶ ἐν τῇ φλογὶ αὐτῆς οὐ καήσονται· |
| 28:23 | οἱ καταλείποντες Κύριον ἐμπεσοῦνται εἰς αὐτήν, καὶ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐκκαήσεται καὶ οὐ μὴ σβεσθῇ· ἐξαποσταλήσεται ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς ὡς λέων, καὶ ὡς πάρδαλις λυμανεῖται αὐτούς. |
| 28:24 | δὲ, περίφραξον τὸ κτῆμά σου ἀκάνθαις, (29)τὸ ἀργύριόν σου καὶ τὸ χρυσίον κατάδησον· |
| 28:25 | καὶ τοῖς λόγοις σου ποίησον ζυγὸν καὶ σταθμόν, καὶ τῷ στόματί σου ποίησον θύραν καὶ μοχλόν. |
| 28:26 | πρόσεχε μὴ πως ὀλισθήσῃς ἐν αὐτῇ, μὴ πέσῃς κατέναντι ἐνεδρεύοντος. |

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.
