And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, and he said: I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds. 46 But when he brought them Our tokens, behold! they laughed at them. 47 And We did not show them a sign but it was greater than its like, and We overtook them with chastisement that they may turn. 48 And they said: O magician! call on your Lord for our sake, as He has made the covenant with you; we shall surely be the followers of the right way. 49 When We relieved them from the torment they suddenly turned back on their heels. 50 Pharaoh called to his people, "My people, is the Kingdom of Egypt not mine? And these rivers that flow at my feet, are they not mine? Do you not see? 51 I am surely better than this fellow, who is despicable and can hardly make (his meaning) plain! 52 Wherefore, then, have bracelets of gold not been set upon him, and wherefore have not angels come with him accompanying 53 Then he incited his people and they obeyed him; verily they were ever a transgressing people. 54 We took revenge on them by drowning them all together. 55 We made them become of the people of the past and an example for the coming generations. 56
