Noah said: “My Lord, they did not pay heed to what I said, and followed those (nobles) whose possession of wealth and children has led them to an even greater loss. 21 “And they carried out a very sinister scheme.” 22 And they say: By no means leave your gods, nor leave Wadd, nor Suwa; nor Yaghus, and Yauq and Nasr. 23 And indeed they have led astray many, and do not increase the unjust in aught but 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 my Lord! Forgive me, my parents, all who enter my house in Faith, and (all) believing men and believing women: and to the wrong-doers grant Thou no increase but in perdition!" 28
