So watch them, and be constant. 27 And tell them that the water is to be divided between them, each drink for each in turn. 28 But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her). 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects. 31 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 32 The people of Lut denied the Noble Messengers. 33 We let loose on all of them a squall of claystones, except for the house of Lot whom We saved at dawn 34 As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed the warnings -- 36 They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 37 And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning. 38 "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 39 We have made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would pay attention? 40
