My reward is with none but the Lord of the Universe. 145 Will you be left secure in what is here; 146 "Gardens and Springs, 147 And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit? 148 Will you still hew your dwellings in the mountains? 149 So be mindful of God and listen to me. 150 Do not obey the order of the wasteful, 151 Who corrupt the land and do not reform it." 152 They said, “You are under a magic spell.” 153 You are only a human being like ourselves.

Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe. 158 And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful. 159
