| 5:1 | καὶ τῶν ἀθετούυτων τοὺς πόνους αὐτοῦ. |
| 5:2 | ἰδόντες ταραχθήσονται φόβῳ δπινῷ, καὶ ἐκστήσονται ἐπὶ τῷ παραδόξῳ τῆς σωτηρίας· |
| 5:3 | ἐροῦσιν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς μετανοοῦντες, καὶ διὰ στενοχωρίαν πνεύματος στενάξονται Ὀὓτος ἦν ὃν ἔσχομέν ποτε εἰς γέλωτα |
| 5:4 | καὶ εἰς παραβολὴν ὀνειδισμοῦ, ⁴οἱ ἄφρονες· τὸν βίον αὐτοῦ ἐλογισάμεθα μανίαν καὶ τὴν τελευτὴν αὐτοῦ ἄτιμον· |
| 5:5 | πῶς κατελογίσθη ἐν υἱοῖς θεοῦ, καὶ ἐν ἁγίοις ὁ κλῆρος αὐτοῦ ἐστιν; |
| 5:6 | ἄρα ἐπλανήθημεν ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ ἀληθείας, καὶ τὸ τῆς δικαρσύνης φῶς οὐκ ἔλαμψεν ἡμῖν. καὶ ὁ ἥλιος οὐκ ἀνέτεθλεν ἡμῖν· |
| 5:7 | ἀνομίας ἐνεπλήσθημεν τρίβοις καὶ ἀπωλείας, καὶ διωδεύσαμεν ἐρήμους ἀβάτους, τὴν δὲ ὁδὸν Κυρίου οὐκ ἔγνωμεν. |
| 5:8 | τί ὠφέλησεν ἡμᾶς ἡ ὑπερηφανία; καὶ τί πλοῦτος μετὰ ἀλαζονίας συμβέβληται ἡμῖν; |
| 5:9 | παρῆλθεν ἐκεῖνα πάντα ὡς σκιὰ καὶ ὡς ἀγγελία παρατρέχουσα· |
| 5:10 | ὼς ναῦς διερχομένη κυμαινόμενον ὕδωρ, ἧς διαβάσης οὐκ ἔστιν ἴχνος εὑρεῖν, οὐδὲ ἀτραπὸν τρόπιος αὐτῆς ἐν κύμασιν· |
| 5:11 | ἡ ὡς ὀρνέου διιπτάντος ἀέρα οὐθὲν εὑρίσκεται τεκμήριον πορείας, πληγῇ δέ μαστιζόμενον ταρσῶν πνεῦμα κοῦφον καὶ σχιζόμενον βἰᾳ ῥοἰζου. κινουμένων πτερύγων διωδεύθη, καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο οὐχ εὑρέθη σημεῖον ἐπιβάσεως ἐν αὐτῷ· |
| 5:12 | ἢ ὡς βέλους βληθέντος ἐπὶ σκοπὸν τμηθεὶς ὁ ἀὴρ εὐθέως εἰς ἑαυτὸν ἀνελύθη, ὡς ἀγνοῆσαι τὴν δίδον αὐτοῦ· |
| 5:13 | οὕτως καὶ ἡμεῖς γενηθέντες ἐξελίπομεν, καὶ ἀρετῆς μὲν σημεῖον οὐδὲν ἔσχομεν δεῖξαι, ἐν δέ τῇ κακίᾳ ἡμῶν κατεδαπανήθημεν. |
| 5:14 | ὅτι ἐλπὶς ἀσεβοῦς ὡς φερόμενος χνοῦς ὑπὸ ἀνέμου, καὶ ὡς πάχνη ὑπὸ λαίλαπος διωχθεῖσα λεπτή, καὶ ὡς καπνὸς ὑπὸ ἀνέμου διεχύθη, καὶ ὡς μνεία καταλύτου μονοημέρου παρώδευσεν. |
| 5:15 | δίκαιοι δὲ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ζῶσιν, καὶ ἐν Κυρίῳ ὁ μισθὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἡ φροντὶς αὐτῶν παρὰ Ὑψίστῳ. |
| 5:16 | διὰ τοῦτο λήμψονται τὸ βασίλειον τῆς εὐπρεπείας καὶ τὸ διάδημα τοῦ κάλλους ἐκ χειρὸς Κυρίου, ὅτι τῇ δεξιἄ σκεπάσει αὐτούς, καὶ τῷ βραχίονι ὑπερασπιεῖ αὐτῶν. |
| 5:17 | λήμψεται πανοπλίαν τὸν ζῆλον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁπλοποιήσει τὴν κτίσιν εἰς ἄμυναν ἐχθρῶν· | |
| 5:18 | ἐνδύσεται θώρακα δικαιοσύνην, καὶ περιθήσεται κόρυθα κρίσιν ἀνυπόκριτον· |
| 5:19 | λήμψεται ἀσπίδα ἀκαταμάχητον ὁσιότητα, |
| 5:20 | ὀξυνεῖ δὲ ἀπότομον ὀργὴν εἰς ῥομφαίαν, συνεκπολεμήσει δέ αὐτῷ ὁ κόσμος ἐπὶ τοὺς παράφρονας. |
| 5:21 | πορεύσονται εὔστοχοι βολίδες ἀστραπῶν, καὶ ὡς ἀπὸ εὐκύκλου τόξου τῶν νεφῶν ἐπὶ σκοπὸν ἁλοῦνται, |
| 5:22 | καὶ ἐκ πετροβόλου θυμοῦ πλήρεις ῥιφήσονται χάλαζαι ἀγανακτήσει κατʼ αὐτῶν ὕδωρ θαλάσσης, ποταμοὶ δὲ συνκλύσουσιν ἀποτόμαας· |
| 5:23 | ἀντιστήσεται αὐτοῖς πνεῦμα δυνάμεος, καὶ ὡς λαῖλαψ ἐκλικμήσει αὐτούς· καὶ ἐρημώσει πᾶσα τὴν γῆν ἀνομία, καὶ ἡ κακοπραγία περιτρέψει θρόνους δυναστῶν. |

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.
