너희가 아무리 애써도 아내들 사이에 [완전히] 공평할 수는 없을 것이다. 그러니 [한쪽으로] 완전히 기울어 다른 아내를 매달린 사람처럼 내버려 두지 말라. 너희가 바로잡고 경외하면, 실로 하나님께서는 너그러이 용서하시며 자애로우신 분이다.
You will never be able to be [perfectly] just between wives, however much you may wish it. So do not incline wholly [to one], leaving the other as if suspended. If you set things right and are mindful of God, God is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

- Bold = the stressed syllable of the word; a little stronger.
- Overline = long vowel (madd): hold it about two beats. Length matters most in recitation.
- Tiny = no vowel in the Arabic here — just the consonant, short.
- 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).

- Whole word faint (the, of, and, to…) = light and quick in a sentence; stress the content words.
- Small f v θ ð r = sounds Korean doesn't have — f: upper teeth on the lower lip; v: the same, voiced; θ/ð: tongue tip between the teeth; r: tongue curled back, touching nothing.
