| 41:1 | θάνατε, ὡς πικρόν σου τὸ μνημόσυνόν ἐστιν ἀνθρώπῳ εἰρηνεύοντι ἐν τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν αὐτοῦ, (2)Ἰᵇάνδρὶ ἀπερισπάστῳ καὶ εὐοδουμένῳ ἐν πᾶσιν καὶ ἔτι ἰσχύοντι ἐπιδέξασθαι τροφήν. |
| 41:2 | ὦ θανατε, καλ0ν σου τὸ κρίμα ἐστὶν ἀνθρώπῳ ἐπιδεομένῳ καὶ ἐλασσουμένῳ ἰσχύι, (4)ἐσχατογήρῳ καὶ περισπωμένῳ περὶ πάντων, καὶ ἀπειθοῦντι καὶ ἀπολωλεκότι ὑπομονὴν. |
| 41:3 | μὴ εὐλαβοῦ κρίμα θανάτου, μνήσθητι προτέρων σου καὶ ἐσχάτων· |
| 41:4 | τοῦτο τὸ κρίμα παρὰ Κυρίου πάσῃ σαρκί, (6)καὶ τί ἀπαναίνῃ ἐν εὐδοκίὰ Ὑψίστου; εὗτε δέκα εἴτε ἑκατὸν εἶτε χίλια ἔτη, (7)οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν 4δοῦ ἐλεγμὸς ζωῆς. |
| 41:5 | τέκνα βδελυκτὰ γίνεται τέκνα ἁμαρτωλῶν, καὶ συναναστρεφόμενα παροικίαις ἀσεβῶν· |
| 41:6 | τέκνων ἁμαρτωλῶν ἀπολεῖται κληρονομία, καὶ μετὰ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτῶν ἐνδελεχιεῖ ὄνειδος. |
| 41:7 | πατρὶ ἀσεβεῖ μέμψεται τέκνα, ὅτι δι αὐτὸν ὀνειδισθήσονται. |
| 41:8 | οὐαὶ ὑμῖν ἄνδρες ἀσεβεῖς, οἵτινες ἐγκατελείπετε νόμον θεοῦ Ὑψίστου· |
| 41:9 | καὶ ἐὰν γεννηθῆτε, εἰς κατάραν γεννηθήσεσθε, καὶ ἐὰν ἀποθάνητε, εἰς κατάραν μερισθήσεσθε. |
| 41:10 | πάντα ὅσα ἐκ γῆς εἰς γῆν ἀπελεύσεται, οὕτως ἀσεβεῖς ἀπὸ κατάρας εἰς ἀπωλίαν. |
| 41:11 | πένθος ἀνθρώπων ἐν σώμασιν αὐτῶν, ὄνομα δὲ ἁμαρτωλῶν οὐκ ἀγαθὸν ἐξαλειφθήσεται. |
| 41:12 | φρόντισον περὶ ὀνόματος, αὐτὸ γάρ σοι διαμενεῖ ἢ χίλιοι μεγάλοι θησαυροὶ χρυσίου· |
| 41:13 | ἀγαθῆς ζωῆς ἀριθμὸς ἡμερῶν, καὶ ἀγαθὸν ὄνομα εἰς αἰῶνα διαμενεῖ. |
| 41:14 | παιδείαν ἐν εἰρήνῃ συντηρήσατε, τέκνα· σοφία δὲ κεκρυμμένη καὶ θησαυρὸς ἀφανής, τίς ὠφελία ἐν ἀμφοτέροις; |
| 41:15 | κρείσσων ἄνθρωπος ἀποκρύπτων τὴν μωρίαν αὐτοῦ ἢ ἄνθρωπος ἀποκρύπτων τὴν σοφίαν αὐτοῦ. |
| 41:16 | τοιγαροῦν ἐντράπητε ἐπὶ τῷ ῥήματί μου· (20)οὐ γάρ ἐστιν πᾶσαν αἰσχύνην διαφυλάξαι καλόν, καὶ οὐ πάντα πᾶσιν ἐν πίστει εὐδοκιμεῖται. |
| 41:17 | αἰσχύνεσθε ἀπὸ πατρὸς καὶ μητρὸς περὶ πορνείας, καὶ ἀπὸ ἡγουμένου καὶ δυνάστου περὶ ψεύδους, |
| 41:18 | ἀπὸ κριτοῦ καὶ ἄρχοντος περὶ πλημμελίας, ἀπὸ συναγωγῆς καὶ λαοῦ περὶ ἀνομίας, (23)ἀπὸ κοινωνοῦ καὶ φίλου περὶ ἀδικίας, |
| 41:19 | καὶ ἀπὸ τόπου οὗ παροικεῖς (24)περὶ κλοπῆς, καὶ ἀπὸ ἀληθείας θεοῦ καὶ διαθήκης, καὶ ἀπὸ πήξεως ἀγκῶνος ἐπʼ ἄρτους, ἀπὸ σκορακισμοῦ λήμψεως καὶ δόσεως, |
| 41:20 | καὶ ἀπὸ ἀσπαζομένων περὶ σιωπῆς, ἀπὸ ὁράσεως γυναικὸς ἑταίρας, |
| 41:21 | καὶ ἀπὸ ἀποστροφῆς προσώπου συγγενοῦς, ἀπὸ ἀφαιρέσεως μερίδος καὶ δόσεως, (²⁷)καὶ ἀπὸ κατανοήσεως γυναικὸς ὑπάνδρου, |
| 41:22 | ἀπὸ περιεργείας παιδίσκης αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ ἐπιστῆς ἐπὶ τὴν κοίτην αὐτῆς· (28)ἀπὸ φίλων περὶ λόγων ὀνειδισμοῦ, καὶ μετὰ τὸ δοῦναι μὴ ὀνείδιζε· |

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.
