| 40:1 | Ἀσχολία μεγάλη ἔκτισται παντὶ ἀνθρώπαῳ, καὶ ζυγὸς βαρὺς ἐπὶ υἱοὺς Ἀδάμ, ἀφʼ ἡμέρας ἐξόδου ἐκ γαστρὸς μητρὸς αὐτῶν ἕως ἡμέρας ἐπὶ ταφῇ εἰς. μητέρα πάντων· |
| 40:2 | τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ φόβον καρδίας, ἐπίνοια προσδοκίας, ἡμέρα τελευτῆς· |
| 40:3 | ἀπὸ καθημένου ἐπὶ θρόνου ἐν δόξῃ καὶ ἕως τεταπειναωμένου ἐν γῆ καὶ σποδῷ, |
| 40:4 | ἀπὸ φοροῦντος ὑακίνθου καὶ στέφανοο καὶ ἕως περιβαλλομένου ὠμόλινον· |
| 40:5 | θυμὸς καὶ ζῆλος καὶ ταραχὴ καὶ σάλος καὶ φόβος θανάτου καὶ μηνίαμα καὶ ἔρις. (5)καὶ ἐν καιρῷ ἀναπαύσεως ἐπὶ κοίτης ὕπνος νυκτὸς ἀλλοιοῖ γνῶσιν αὐτοῦ· |
| 40:6 | ὀλίγον ὡς οὐδὲν ἐν ἀναπαύσει, καὶ ἀπʼ ἐκείνου ἐν ὕπνοις ἁπ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σκοπιᾶς· (7)τεθορυβημένος ἐν ὁράσει καρδίας αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἐκπεφευγῶς ἀπὸ προσώπου πολέsμοο· |
| 40:7 | ἐν καιρῷ σωτηρίας αὐτοῦ ἐξηγέρθη, καὶ ἀποθαυμάζων εἰς οὐδένα φόβον. |
| 40:8 | μετὰ πάσης σαρκὸς ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους, καὶ ἐπὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν ἑπταπλάσια πρὸς ταῦτα· |
| 40:9 | θάνατος καὶ αἷμα καὶ ἔρις καὶ όομφαία, |
| 40:10 | ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀνόμους ἐκτίσθη ταῦτα πάντα, καὶ δι᾿ αὐτοὺς ἐγένετο ὁ κατακλυσμός. |
| 40:11 | πάντα ὅσα ἀπὸ γῆς εἰς γῆν ἀναστρέφει, καὶ ἀπὸ ὑδάτων εἰς θάλασσαν ἀνακάμπτει. |
| 40:12 | πᾶν δῶρον καὶ ἀδικία ἐξαλειφθήσεται, καὶ πίστις εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα στήσεται. |
| 40:13 | χρήματα ἀδίκων ὡς ποταμὸς ξηρανθήσεται, καὶ ὡς βροντὴ μεγάλη ἐν ὑετῷ ἐξηχήσει |
| 40:14 | ἐν τῷ ἀνοῖξαι αὐτὸν χεῖρας εὐφρανθήσεται, οὕτως οἱ παραβαίνοντες εἰς συντέλειαν ἐκλείψουσιν. |
| 40:15 | ἔκγονα ἀσεβῶν οὐ πληθυνεῖ κλάδος, καὶ ὸίζαι ἀκάθαρτοι ἐπʼ ἀκροτόμου πέτρας· |
| 40:16 | ἄχει ἐπὶ παντὸς ὕδατος καὶ χείλους ποταμοῦ πρὸ παντὸς χόρτου ἐκτιλήσεται. |
| 40:17 | χάρις ὡς παράδεισος ἐν εὐλογίαις, καὶ ἐλεημοσύνη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα διαμενεῖ. |
| 40:18 | ζωὴ αὐτάρκους ἐργάτου γλυκανθήσεται, καὶ ὑπέρ ἀμφότερα ὁ εὑρίσκων θησαυρόν. |
| 40:19 | τέκνα καὶ οἰκοδομὴ πόλεως στηρίζουσιν ὄνομα. καὶ ὑπέρ ἀμφότερα γυνὴ ἄμωμος λογίζεται. |
| 40:20 | οἶνος καὶ μουσικὰ εὐφραίνουσιν καρδίαν, καὶ ὑπέρ ἀμφότερα ἀγάπησις σοφίας. |
| 40:21 | αὐλὸς καὶ ψαλτήριον ἡδύνουσιν μέλη, καὶ ὑπέρ ἀμφότερα γλῶσσα ἡδεῖα. |
| 40:22 | χάριν καὶ κάλλος ἐπιθυμήσει ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου, καὶ ὑπέρ ἀμφότερα χλόην σπόρου. |
| 40:23 | φίλος καὶ ἑταῖρος εἰς καιρὸν ἀπαντῶντες, καὶ ὑπέρ ἀμφότερα γυνὴ μετὰ ἀνδρός. |
| 40:24 | ἀδελφοὶ καὶ βοήθεια εἰς καιρὸν θλίψεως. καὶ ὑπέρ ἀμφότερα ἐλεημοσύνη δύσεται. |
| 40:25 | χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον ἐπιστήσουσιν πόδα, καὶ ὑπέρ ἀμφότερα γυνὴ εὐδοκιμεῖται. |
| 40:26 | χρήματα καὶ ἰσχὺς ἀνυψώσουσιν καρδίαν, καὶ ὑπέρ ἀμφότερα φόβος Κυρίου· (27)οὐκ ἔστιν φόβῳ Κυρίου ἐλάττωσις, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπιζητῆσαι ἐν αὐτῷ βοήθειαν· |
| 40:27 | φόβος Κυρίου ὡς παράδεισος εὐλογίας, καὶ ὑπέρ πᾶσαν δόξαν ἐκάλυψαν αὐτόν. |
| 40:28 | τέκνον, ζωὴν ἐπαιτήσεως μὴ βιώσῃς· κρεῖσσον ἀποθανεῖν ἡ ἐπαιτεῖν. |
| 40:29 | ἀὴρ βλέπων εἰς τράπεζαν ἀλλοτρίαν, οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῦ ὁ βἰος ἐν λογισμῷ ζωῆς, ἀλισγήσει τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐδέσμασιν ἀλλοτρίοις· (31)ἀνήρ δὲ ἐπιστήμων καὶ πεπαιδευμένος φυλάξεται. |
| 40:31 | ἐν στόματι ἀναιδοῦς γλυκανθήσεται ἐπαίτησις, καὶ ἐν κοιλίᾳ αὐτοῦ πῦρ καήσεται. |

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.
