We have placed the signs of the Zodiac in the sky, and decked it out for those who can see; 16 And We have guarded it from every Satan damned. 17 Except him (devil) that gains hearing by stealing, he is pursued by a clear flaming fire. 18 And the earth -- We stretched it forth, and cast on it firm mountains, and We caused to grow therein of every thing justly weighed, 19 to provide you and those for whose sustenance you are not responsible, with the necessities of life. 20 Naught is there, but its treasuries are with Us, and We send it not down but in a known measure. 21 We send rain-impregnated winds, and water from the sky which you drink, but you are not the keepers of its store. 22 And verily We! it is We who give life and death, and We shall be the survivors. 23 And well do We know [the hearts and deeds of all human beings - both] those who lived before you and those who will come after you; 24 It is your Lord who will gather them. He is all wise and all knowing. 25
