너를 쫓아낸 너의 고을보다 힘이 더 센 고을을 우리가 얼마나 많이 멸망시켰던가. 그들에게는 돕는 자가 아무도 없었다.

- 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).
