36:1Ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς, δέσποτα ὁ θεὸς πάντων,
36:2καὶ ἐπίβλεψον, (2)καὶ ἐπίβαλε τὸν φόβον σου ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη·
36:3ἔπαρον τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπὶ ἔθνη ἀλλότρια, καὶ ἰδέτωσαν τὴν δυναστείαν σου.
36:4ὥσπερ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἡγιάσθης ἐν ἡμίν, οὕτως ἐνώπιον ἡμῶν μεγαλυνθείης ἐν αὐτοῖς·
36:5καὶ ἐπιγνώτωσάν σε καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐπέγνωμεν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν θεὸς πλὴν σοῦ, Κύριε.
36:6ἐγκαίνισον σημεῖα καὶ ἀλλοίωσον θαυμάσια,
36:7δόξασον χεῖρα καὶ βραχίονα δεξιόν·
36:8ἔγειρον θυμὸν καὶ ἔκχεον ἀργήν,
36:9ἔξαρον ἀντίδικον καὶ ἔκτριψον ἐχθρόν.
36:10σπεῦσον καιρὸν καὶ μνήσθητι ὁρκισμοῦ, καὶ ἐκδιηγησάσθωσαν τὰ μεγαλεῖά σου.
36:11ἐν ἀργῇ πυρὸς καταβρωθήτω ὁ σωζόμενος, καὶ οἱ ἀδικοῦντες τὸν λαόν σου εῦροισαν ἀπώλειαν.
36:12σύντριψον κεφαλὰς ἀρχόντων ἐχθρῶν, λεγόντων Οὐκ ἔστιν πλὴν ἡμῶν.
36:13aσύναγε πάσας φυλὰς Ἰακώβ,
36:16bbκαὶ κατακληρονομήσεις αὐτοὺς καθὼς ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς.
36:17ἐλέησον λαόν, Κύριε, κεκλημένον ἐπʼ ὀνόματί σου, καὶ Ἰσραὴλ ὃν πρωτογόνῳ ὡμοίωσας.
36:18οἰκτείρησον πόλιν ἁγιάσματός σου, Ἰερουσαλήμ, πόλιν καταπαύματός σου·
36:19πλῆσον Σιὼν ἀρεταλογίας σου, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης σου τὸν λαόν σου.
36:20δὸς μαρτύριον τοῖς ἐν ἀρχῇ κτίσμασίν σου, καὶ ἔγειρον προφητείας τὰς ἐπʼ ὀνόματί σου·
36:21δὸς μισθὸν τοῖς ὑπομένουσίν σε, καὶ οἱ προφῆταί σου ἐμπιστευθήταωσαν.
36:22κἰσάκουσον, Κύριε, δεήσεως τῶν ἱκετῶν σου (19)κατὰ τὴν εὐλογίαν Ἀαρὼν περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου, καὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅτι Κύριος εἶ, ὁ θεὸς τῶν αἰώνων.
36:23Τᾶν βρῶμα φάγεται κοιλία, ἔστιν δὲ βρῶμα βρώματος κάλλιον.
36:24φάρυγξ γεύεται βρώματα θήρας. οὕτως καρδία συνετὴ λόγους ψευδεῖς.
36:25καρδία στρεβλὴ δώσει λύπην, καὶ ἄνθρωπος πολύπειρος ἀνταποδώσει αὐτῷ.
36:26πάντα ἄρρενα ἐπιδέξεται γυνή, ἔστιν δὲ θυγάτηρ θυγατρὸς κρεῖσσον.
36:27κάλλος γυναικὸς ἱλαρύνει πρόσωπον, καὶ ὑπέρ πᾶσαν ἐπιθυμίαν ἀνθρώπου ὑπεράγει·
36:28τἰ ἔστιν ἐπὶ γλώσσης αὐτῆς ἔλεος καὶ πρᾳύτης. οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς καθʼ υἱοὺς ἀνθρώπων.
36:29ὁ κτώμενος γυναῖκα ἐνάρχεται κτήσεως, βοηθὸν κατʼ αὐτὸν καὶ στύλον ἀναπαύσεως.
36:30οὖ οὐκ ἔστιν φραγμός, διαρπαγήσεται κτῆμα· καὶ nὗ οὐκ ἔστιν γυνή, στενάξει πλανώμενος.
36:31τίς γὰρ πιστεύσει εὐζώνῳ λῃστῇ σφαλλομένῳ ἐκ πόλεως εἰς πόλιν; οὕτως ἀνθρώπῳ μὴ ἔχοντι νοσσιὰν καὶ καταλύοντι οὄ ἐὰν ὀψίσῃ.

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
L0.5 transliteration
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).
L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
