And if they belie thee, say thou: unto me my work, and unto you your work: ye are quit of that which I work and I am quit of that which ye work. 41 Some of them will listen to you, but are you supposed to make the deaf hear even if they have no understanding? 42 And some of them look unto thee; what, wilt thou then guide the blind, though they do not see? 43 Verily, God does not do the least wrong unto men, but it is men who wrong themselves. 44 (But today they are oblivious of everything except enjoyment of worldly life.)

Now, when already you seek to hasten it!' 51 "At length will be said to the wrong-doers: 'Taste ye the enduring punishment! ye get but the recompense of what ye earned!'" 52 They enquire of you if this will really happen. Tell them, "Yes, by my Lord. Most certainly it will happen, and you cannot avert it." 53
