We have placed the signs of the Zodiac in the sky, and decked it out for those who can see; 16 And We have kept it guarded from every outcast devil. 17 so that anyone who seeks to learn [the unknowable] by stealth is pursued by a flame clear to see. 18 And the earth - We have spread it out wide, and placed on it mountains firm, and caused [life] of every kind to grow on it in a balanced manner, 19 And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers. 20 For, no single thing exists that does not have its source with Us; and nought do We bestow from on high unless it be in accordance with a measure well-defined. 21 We send the winds fertilizing, and We send down out of heaven water, from which you drink and you are not its treasurers. 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 Your Lord will resurrect them all; He is All-wise and All-knowing. 25
