I am a faithful messenger unto you, 178 So fear God and follow me. 179 my wage falls only upon the Lord of all Being. 180 ۞ Give full measure and do not cheat; 181 Weigh with correct scales: 182 And do not wrong men of their things, and do not act corruptly in the earth, making mischief. 183 Fear Him who created you, and the generations of the ancients.' 184 Said they: "Thou art but one of the bewitched, 185 You are only a human being like ourselves.
