BrLXX Οὕτως ἄνθρωπος νηστεύων ἐπὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάλιν πορευόμενος, καὶ τὰ αὐτὰ ποιῶν· τῆς προσευχῆς αὐτοῦ τίς εἰσακούσεται; καὶ τί ὠφέλησεν ἐν τῷ ταπεινωθῆναι αὐτόν;
(Houtōs anthrōpos naʸsteuōn epi tōn hamartiōn autou, kai palin poreuomenos, kai ta auta poiōn; taʸs proseuⱪaʸs autou tis eisakousetai; kai ti ōfelaʸsen en tōi tapeinōthaʸnai auton; )
