| 11:1 | Εὐόδωσεν τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν ἐν χειρὶ προφήτου ἁγίου. |
| 11:2 | διώδευσαν ἔρημον ἀοίκητον, καὶ ἐν ἀβάτοις ἔπηξαν σκηνάς· |
| 11:3 | ἀντέστησαν πολεμίοις, καὶ ἠμύναντο ἐχθρούς. |
| 11:4 | ἐδίψησαν καὶ ἐπεκαλέσαντό σε, καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς ἐκ πέτρας ἀκροτόμου ὕδωρ, καὶ ἴαμα δίψης ἐκ λίθου σκληροῦ. |
| 11:5 | δι᾿ ὧν γὰρ ἐκολάσθησαν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν, (⁶)διὰ τούτων αὐτοὶ ἀποροῦντες εὐεργετήθησαν. |
| 11:6 | ἀντὶ μὲν πηγῆς ἀενάου ποταμοῦ αἵματι λυθρώδει ταραχθέντες |
| 11:7 | εἰς ἔλεγχον νηπιοκτόνου διατάγματος, |
| 11:8 | ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς δαψιλὲς ὕδωρ ἀνελπίστως, 8 δείξας διὰ τοῦ τότε δίψους πῶς τοὺς ὑπεναντίους ἐκόλασας. |
| 11:9 | ὅτε γὰρ ἐπειράσθησαν, καίπερ ἐν ἐλέει παιδευόμενοι, ἔγνωσαν πῶς ἐν ὀργῇ κρινόμενοι ἀσεβεῖς ἐβασανίζοντο· |
| 11:10 | τούτους μὲν γὰρ ὡς πατὴρ νουθετῶν ἐδοκίμασας, ἐκείνους δὲ ὡς ἀπότομος βασιλεὺς καταδικάζων ἐξήτασας. |
| 11:11 | καὶ ἀπόντες δὲ καὶ παρόντες ὁμοίως ἐτρύχοντο· |
| 11:12 | διπλῆ γὰρ αὐτοὺς ἔλαβεν λύπη καὶ στεναγμὸς μνημῶν τῶν παρελθουσῶν. |
| 11:13 | ὅτε γὰρ ἤκουσαν διὰ τῶν ἰδίων κολάσεων εὐεργετουμένους αὐτούς, ᾔσθοντο τοῦ κυρίου. |
| 11:14 | τὸν γὰρ ἐν ἐκθέσει πάλαι ῥιφέντα ἀπεῖπον χλευάζοντες· ἐπὶ τέλει τῶν ἐκβάσεων ἐθαύμασαν, οὐχ ὅμοια δικαίοις διψήσαντες. |
| 11:15 | ἀντὶ δὲ λογισμῶν ἀσυνέτων ἀδικίας αὐτῶν, ἐν οἷς πλανηθέντες ἐθρήσκευον ἄλογα ἑρπετὰ καὶ κνώδαλα εὐτελῆ, ἐπαπέστειλας αὐτοῖς πλῆθος ἀλόγων ζῴων εἰς ἐκδίκησιν, |
| 11:16 | ἵνα γνῶσιν ὅτι δι᾿ ὧν τις ἁμαρτάνει, διὰ τούτων κολάζεται. |
| 11:17 | οὐ γὰρ ἠπόρει ἡ παντοδύναμός σου χεὶρ καὶ κτίσασα τὸν κόσμον ἐξ ἀμόρφου ὕλης ἐπιπέμψαι αὐτοῖς πλῆθος ἄρκων ἢ θρασεῖς λέοντας. |
| 11:18 | ἢ νεοκτίστους θυμοῦ πλήρεις θῆρας ἀγνώστους, ἤτοι πυρπνόον φυσῶντας ἆσθμα, ἢ βρόμους λικμωμένους καπνοῦ, ἢ δεινοὺς ἀπʼ ὀμμάτων σπινθῆρας ἀστράπτοντας, |
| 11:19 | ὧν οὐ μόνον ἡ βλάβη ἠδύνατο συνεκτρῖψαι αὐτούς, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἡ ὄψις ἐκφοβήσασα διολέσαι. |
| 11:20 | καὶ χωρὶς δὲ τούτων ἑνὶ πνεύματι πεσεῖν ἐδύναντο ὑπὸ τῆς δίκης διωχθέντες, καὶ λικμηθέντες ὑπὸ πνεύματος δυνάμεώς σου· ἀλλὰ πάντα μέτρῳ καὶ ἀριθμῷ καὶ σταθμῷ διέταξας. |
| 11:21 | τὸ γὰρ μεγάλως ἰσχύειν πάρεστίν σοι πάντοτε, καὶ κράτει βραχίονός σου τίς ἀντιστήσεται; |
| 11:22 | ὅτι ὡς ῥοπὴ ἐκ πλαστίγγων ὅλος ὁ κόσμος ἐναντίον σου, καὶ ὡς ῥανὶς δρόσου ὀρθρινὴ κατελθοῦσα ἐπὶ γῆν. |
| 11:23 | ἐλεεῖς δὲ πάντας, ὅτι πάντα δύνασαι, καὶ παρορᾷς ἁμαρτήματα ἀνθρώπων εἰς μετάνοιαν. |
| 11:24 | ἀγαπᾷς γὰρ τὰ ὄντα πάντα, καὶ οὐδὲν βδελύσσῃ ὧν ἐποησας, οὐδέ γὰρ ἂν μισῶν τι κατεσκεύασας. |
| 11:25 | πῶς δὲ ἔμεινεν ἄν τι εἰ μὴ σὺ ἠθέλησας, ἢ τὸ μὴ κληθὲν ὑπὸ σοῦ διετηρήθη; |
| 11:26 | φείδῃ δὲ πάντων, ὅτι σά ἐστιν, Δέσποτα φιλόψυχε. |

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.
