And the Thamud belied the warnings. 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 Has the [Divine] message been revealed to him alone of all of us? No, he is a boastful liar." 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 We are sending to them as a trial, a shecamel, so watch them and have patience. 27 Tell them that the water is to be apportioned between them (and her); and every turn of drinking will be fixed (for each)." 28 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 29 How then were My punishment and My warnings! 30 Behold, We let loose upon them one single blast [of Our punishment,] and they became like the dried-up, crumbling twigs of a sheepfold. 31 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 32 The people of Lout (Lot) belied the warnings. 33 Lo!
