But they did not listen to me," Noah said, "and followed him whose wealth and children only added to his ruin. 21 and have devised a mighty device 22 and they said [to their followers], "Do not ever abandon your deities: abandon neither Wadd, nor Suwa', and neither Yaghuth, nor Yauq 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 And Nuh (Noah) said: "My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers on the earth! 26 "If You leave them, they will mislead Your slaves, and they will beget none but wicked disbelievers." 27 My Lord! Forgive me and my parents and him who entereth my house believing, and believing men and believing women, and increase not the wrong-doers in aught save ruin. 28
