But they did not listen to me," Noah said, "and followed him whose wealth and children only added to his ruin. 21 and they have hatched a mighty plot, 22 and they said [to their followers], "Do not ever abandon your deities: abandon neither Wadd, nor Suwa', and neither Yaghuth, nor Yauq nor Nasr!" 23 And indeed they have led astray many, and do not increase the unjust in aught but error. 24 Because of their sins they were drowned (in the flood), and were made to enter the Fire (of Punishment): and they found- in lieu of Allah- none to help them. 25 And Noah said: My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers in the land. 26 If Thou shouldst leave them, they will mislead Thy slaves and will beget none save lewd ingrates. 27 O Lord, forgive me, my parents, and any one who enters my house as a believer, and all believing men and women, and do not give the evil-doers increase save in ruin. 28
