And certainly did We send Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, and he said, "Indeed, I am the messenger of the Lord of the worlds." 46 But when he came to them with Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) behold! They laughed at them. 47 yet there was not a sign that We showed them that was not greater than its sister, and We seized them with the punishment so that they might return. 48 And they said: magician! supplicate thy Lord for us for that which He hath covenanted with thee; verily we shall let ourselves be guided. 49 but when We relieved them of the torment, they broke their word. 50 And said Firaun, “O my people! Is not the kingdom of Egypt for me, and these rivers that flow beneath me? So do you not see?” 51 Nay! I am better than this fellow, who is contemptible, and who can hardly speak distinctly: 52 Then why have there not been placed upon him bracelets of gold or come with him the angels in conjunction?" 53 So when he had brainwashed his people, they followed him; indeed they were a disobedient nation. 54 So, when they had angered Us, We took vengeance on them, and We drowned them all together; 55 And We made them a precedent and example to the later generations. 56
