Noah said, 'My Lord, they have rebelled against me, and followed him whose wealth and children increase him only in loss, 21 And they have plotted a mighty plot, 22 "And they have said (to each other), 'Abandon not your gods: Abandon neither Wadd nor Suwa', neither Yaguth nor Ya'uq, nor Nasr';- 23 They have led many astray; so lead the wrongdoers to further error." 24 Because of their sins, they were drowned and made to enter hell. They could find no one to help them besides God. 25 Noah prayed, "O my Lord! Do not leave on earth a single one of those who deny the truth -- 26 for, behold, if Thou dost leave them, they will [always try to] lead astray those who worship Thee, and will give birth to nothing but wickedness and stubborn ingratitude. 27 O Lord, forgive me, my parents, and any one who enters my house as a believer, and all believing men and women, and do not give the evil-doers increase save in ruin. 28
