    From: The Classic of Poetry, c. 11th – 7th centuries BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
    Yúhū xiǎozǐ, wèizhī zāngpǐ. Fěi shǒu xié zhī, yán shì zhī shì. [Pinyin]
    Ere you knew right from wrong, my son, I held your hand, and led you on.
    From: 1961, ​Kim Yeong'ik (金永益), 《西敎辨》
    U yu ga goe ja. Sangje o sein joeak, pa cheon yeon ji su, i jin myeol ji, u bunyeom Isaengnyeol jin ryuk Aegup jangja. Chasi gi "burin inae ji seong" miji hacheo geo. [Sino-Korean]
    There is another strange thing. God hating the sins of the people of the world, he broke open the waters of the heavenly vaults and annihilated them all thereby; and looking down upon Israel, he massacred all of Egypt's eldest sons. I do not know where this "kindhearted nature which cannot bear [to punish]" was to be found at those times.
