| 2:1 | Συνάχθητε καὶ συνδέθητε, τὸ ἔθνος τὸ ἀπαίδευτον, |
| 2:2 | πρὸ τοῦ γενέσθαι ὑμᾶς ὡς ἄνθος παραπορευόμενον, πρὸ τοῦ ἐπελθεῖν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ὀργὴν Κυρίου, πρὸ τοῦ ἐπελθεῖν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἡμέραν θυμοῦ Κυρίου. |
| 2:3 | ζητήσατε τὸν κύριον, πάντες ταπεινοὶ γῆς· κρίμα ἐργάζεσθε καὶ δικαιοσύνην ζητήσατε, καὶ ἀποκρίνεσθε αὐτά, ὅπως σκεπασθῆτε ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς Κυρίου. |
| 2:4 | Διότι Γάζα διηρπασμένη ἔσται, καὶ Ἀσκάλων εἰς ἀφανισμόν, καὶ Ἄζωτος μεσημβρίας ἐκριφήσεται, καὶ Ἀκκαρὼν ἐκριζωθήσεται. |
| 2:5 | οὐαὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὸ σχοίνισμα τῆς θαλάσσης, πάροικοι Κρητῶν· λόγος Κυρίου ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς Χανάαν, γῆ ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἀπολῶ ὑμᾶς ἐκ κατοικίας· |
| 2:6 | καὶ ἔσται Κρήτη νομὴ ποιμνίων καὶ μάνδρα προβάτων, |
| 2:7 | καὶ ἔσται τὸ σχοίνισμα τῆς θαλάσσης τοῖς καταλοίποις οἴκου Ἰούδα· ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς νεμήσονται ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις Ἀσκάλωνος, δείλης καταλύσουσιν ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰούδα, ὅτι ἐπέσκεπται αὐτοὺς Κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀπέστρεψε τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν αὐτῶν. |
| 2:8 | Ἤκουσα ὀνειδισμοὺς Μωὰβ καὶ κονδυλισμοὺς υἱῶν Ἀμμών, ἐν οἷς ὠνείδιζον τὸν λαόν μου καὶ ἐμεγαλύνοντο ἐπὶ τὰ ὅριά μου. |
| 2:9 | διὰ τοῦτο ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει Κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ, διότι Μωὰβ ὡς Σόδομα ἔσται, καὶ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν ὡς Γόμορρα, καὶ Δαμασκὸς ἐκλελιμμένη ὡς θιμωνιὰ ἃλωνος καὶ ἠφανισμένη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι λαοῦ μου διαρπῶνται αὐτούς, καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι ἔθνους μου κληρονομήσουσιν αὐτούς. |
| 2:10 | αὕτη αὐτοῖς ἀντὶ τῆς ὕβρεως αὐτῶν, διότι ὠνείδισαν καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθησαν ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον τὸν παντοκράτορα. |
| 2:11 | ἐπιφανήσεται Κύριος ἐπʼ αὐτούς, καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσει πάντας τοὺς θεοὺς τῶν ἐθνῶν τῆς γῆς, καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν αὐτῷ ἕκαστος ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ, πᾶσαι αἱ νῆσοι τῶν ἐθνῶν. |
| 2:12 | Καὶ ὑμεῖς, Αἰθίοπες, τραυματίαι ῥομφαίας μού ἐστε· |
| 2:13 | καὶ ἐκτενεῖ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ βορρᾶν καὶ ἀπολεῖ τὸν Ἀσσύριον, καὶ θήσει τὴν Νινευὴ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἄνυδρον ὡς ἔρημον· |
| 2:14 | καὶ νεμήσονται ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ποίμνια καὶ πάντα τὰ θηρία τῆς γῆς, καὶ χαμαιλέοντες καὶ ἐχῖνοι ἐν τοῖς φατνώμασιν αὐτῆς κοιτασθήσονται, καὶ θηρία φωνήσει ἐν τοῖς διορύγμασιν αὐτῆς, κόρακες ἐν τοῖς πυλῶσιν αὐτῆς, διότι κέδρος τὸ ἀνάστημα αὐτῆς. |

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.
