| 17:1 | διὰ τοῦτο δι᾿ ὁμοίων ἐκολάσθησαν ἀξίως, καὶ διὰ πλήθους κνωδάλων ἐβασανίσθησαν. |
| 17:2 | ἀνθʼ ἧς κολάσεως εὐεργετήσας τὸν λαόν σου, εἰς ἐπιθυμίαν ὀρέξεως ξένην γεῦσιν, τροφὴν ἡτοίμασας ὀρτυγομήτραν. |
| 17:3 | ἵνα ἐκεῖνοι μὲν ἐπιθυμοῦντες τροφὴν διὰ τὴν δειχθεῖσαν τῶν ἐπαπεσταλμένων καὶ τὴν ἀναγκαίαν ὄρεξιν ἀποστρέφωνται, αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐπʼ ὀλίγον ἐνδεεῖς γενόμενοι καὶ ξένης μετάσχωσι γεύσεως. |
| 17:4 | ἔδει γὰρ ἐκείνοις ἀπαραίτητον ἔνδειαν ἐπελθεῖν τυραννοῦσ τούτοις δὲ μόνον δειχθῆναι πῶς οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν ἐβασανίζο |
| 17:5 | καὶ γὰρ ὅτε αὐτοῖς δεινὸς ἐπῆλθεν θηρίων θυμός, δήγμασίν τε σκολιῶν διεφθείροντο ὄφεων, οὐ μέχρι τέλους ἔμεινεν ἡ ὀργή σου· |
| 17:6 | εἰς νουθεσίαν δὲ πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐταράχθησαν, σου. σύμβολον ἔχοντες σωτηρίας, εἰς ἀνάμνησιν ἐντολῆς νόμου |
| 17:7 | ὁ γὰρ ἐπιστραφεὶς οὐ διὰ τὸ θεωρούμενον ἐσώζετο, ἀλλὰ διὰ σέ, τὸν πάντων σωτῆρα. |
| 17:8 | καὶ ἐν τούτῳ δὲ ἔπεισας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἡμῶν, ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ῥυόμενος ἐκ παντὸς κακοῦ· |
| 17:9 | οὓς μέν γὰρ ἀκρίδων καὶ μυιῶν ἀπέκτεινεν δήγματα, καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθη ἴαμα τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἄξιοι ἦσαν ὑπὸ τοιούτων κολασθῆναι· |
| 17:10 | τοὺς δὲ υἱοὺς σου οὐδὲ ἰοβόλων δρακόντων ἐνίκησαν ὀδόντες, τὸ ἔλεος γάρ σου ἀντιπαρῆλθεν καὶ ἰάσατο αὐτούς. |
| 17:11 | εἰς γὰρ ὑπόμνησιν τῶν λογίων σου ἐνεκεντρίζοντο, καὶ ὀξέως διεσώζοντο, ἴνα μὴ εἰς βαθεῖαν ἐμπεσόντες λήθην ἀπερίσπαστοι γέναωνται τῆς σῆς εὐεργεσίας. |
| 17:12 | καὶ γὰρ οὕτε βοτάνη οὕτε μάλαγμα ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτούς, ἀλλὰ ὁ σός, Κύριε, λόγος ὁ πάντα ἰώμενος. |
| 17:13 | σὺ γὰρ ζωῆς καὶ θανάτου ἐξουσίαν ἔχεις, καὶ κατάγεις εἰς πύλας ᾄδου καὶ ἀνάγεις. |
| 17:14 | ἄνθρωπος δὲ ἀποκτέννει μὲν τῇ κακίᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἐξελθὸν δὲ πνεῦμα οὐκ ἀναστρέφει, οὐδὲ ἀναλύει ψυχὴν παραλημφθεῖσαν. |
| 17:15 | Τὴν δὲ σὴν χεῖρα φυγεῖν ἀδύνατόν ἐστιν. |
| 17:16 | ἀρνούμενοι γάρ σε εἰδέναι ἀσεβεῖς ἐν ἰσχύι βραχίονός σου ἐμαστιγώθησαν, ξένοις ὑετοῖς καὶ χαλάζαις καὶ ὄμβροις διωκόμενοι ἀπαραιτήτοις καὶ πυρὶ καταναλισκόμενοι. |
| 17:17 | τὸ γὰρ παραδοξότατον, ἐν τῷ πάντα σβεννύντι ὕδατι πλεῖον ἐνήργει τὸ πῦρ, ὑπέρμαχος γὰρ ὁ κόσμος ἐστὶν δικαίων. |
| 17:18 | ποτὲ μέν γὰρ ἡμεροῦτο φλόξ, ἴνα μὴ καταφλέξῃ τὰ ἐπʼ ἀσεβεῖς ἀπεσταλμένα ζῷα, ἀλλʼ αὐτοὶ βλέποντες εἰδῶσιν ὅτι θεοῦ κρίσει ἐλαύνονται· |
| 17:19 | ποτὲ δὲ καὶ μεταξὺ ὕδατος ὑπέρ τὴν πυρὸς δύναμιν φλέγει. ἴνα ἀδίκου γῆς γενήματα διαφθείρῃ. |
| 17:20 | ἀνθʼ ὧν ἀγγέλων τροφὴν ἐψώμισας τὸν λαόν σου, καὶ ἕτοιμον ἄρτον αὐτοῖς ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ ἔπεμψας ἀκοπιάτως, πᾶσαν ἡδονὴν ἰσχύοντα καὶ πρὸς πᾶσαν ἁρμόνιον γεῦσιν. |
| 17:21 | ἡ μέν γὰρ ὑπόστασίς σου τὴν σὴν γλυκύτητα πρὸς τέκνα ἐνεφάνισεν, τῇ δὲ τοῦ προσφερομένου ἐπιθυμίᾳ ὑπηρετῶν πρὸς ὅ τις ἐβούλετο μετεκιρνᾶτο. |
| 17:22 | χιὼν δὲ καὶ κρύσταλλος ὑπέμεινε πῦρ καὶ οὐκ ἐτήκετο, ἵνα γνῶσιν ὅτι τοὺς τῶν ἐχθρῶν καρποὺς κατέφθειρε πῦρ φλεγόμενον ἐν τῇ χαλάζρῃ καὶ ἐν τοῖς ὑετοῖς διαστράπτον· |
| 17:23 | τοῦτο πάλιν δʼ, ἴνα τραφῶσιν δίκαιοι, καὶ τῆς ἰδίας ἐπιλέλησται δυνάμεαως. |
| 17:24 | ἡ γὰρ κτίσις σοι τῷ ποιήσαντι ὑπηρετοῦσα ἐπιτείνεται εἰς κόλασιν κατὰ τῶν ἀδίκων, καὶ ἀνίεται εἰς εὐεργεσίαν ὑπέρ τῶν εἰς σἐ πεποιθότων. |
| 17:25 | διὰ τοῦτο καὶ τότε τἰς πάντα μεταλλευομένη τῇ παντοτρόφῳ σου δαωρεᾷ ὑπηρετεῖ, πρὸς τὴν τῶν δεομένων θέλησιαυ· |
| 17:26 | ἴνα μάθωσιν οἱ υἱοί σου, οὓς ἠγάπησας, Κύριε, ὅτι οὐχ αἱ γενέσεις τῶν καρπῶν τρέφουσιν ἄνθρωπον, ἀλλὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου τοὺς σοὶ πιστεύοντας διατηρεῖ. |
| 17:27 | τὸ γὰρ ὑπὸ πυρὸς μὴ φθειρόμενον ἁπλῶς ὑπὸ βραχείας ἀκτῖνος ἡλίου θερμαινόμενον ἐτήκετο, |
| 17:28 | Μπως γνωστὸν ἧν ὅτι δεῖ φθάνειν τὸν ἥλιον ἐπʼ εὐχαριστίαν καὶ πρὸς ἀνατολὴν φωτὸς ἐντυγχάνειν σοι. |
| 17:29 | ἀχαρίστου γὰρ ἐλπὶς ὡς χειμέριος πάχνη τακήσεται, καὶ ῥυήσεται ὡς ὕδαωρ ἄχρηστον. |

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.
