And assuredly We sent Musa with Our signs unto Fir'awn and his chiefs, and he said: verily I am an apostle of the Lord of the worlds. 46 But when he brought to them Our signs they laughed at them, 47 Every Sign that We showed them was greater than its predecessor; and then We seized them with Our chastisement so that they may return (to the Right Way). 48 And they said, “O you magician! Pray for us to your Lord, by the means of His covenant which is with you; we will certainly come to guidance.” 49 But when We removed the Penalty from them, behold, they broke their word. 50 And said Firaun, “O my people! Is not the kingdom of Egypt for me, and these rivers that flow beneath me? So do you not see?” 51 Or am I better than this man, who is contemptible and scarcely makes things clear? 52 and why have not armlets of gold been bestowed on him and why is there not a train of angels accompanying him?" 53 So he made his people unsteady, and they obeyed him; surely they were an ungodly people. 54 Then when they provoked Our wrath, We took revenge on them and drowned every one of them. 55 And made them a precedent and example for posterity. 56
