죄지은 자들이 자기 주님 앞에서 고개를 떨군 채 [말하는] 모습을 네가 본다면! “우리 주님, 저희가 보았고 들었습니다. 저희를 [세상으로] 돌려보내 주소서. 그러면 선한 일을 하겠습니다. 이제 저희는 확신합니다.”
If only you could see when the guilty hang their heads before their Lord: “Our Lord, we have seen and we have heard, so send us back and we will do righteous deeds. We are now certain.”

- Small Latin letter = a sound Korean lacks, on the next syllable: f upper teeth on lower lip · θ/ð tongue tip between the teeth · r rolled tongue tip (a bare ㄹ is l).
