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 relieved them of the torment, they broke their word. 50 And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) proclaimed among his people, saying: "O my people! Is not mine the dominion of Egypt, and these rivers flowing underneath me. See you not then? 51 I am surely better than this fellow, who is despicable and can hardly make (his meaning) plain! 52 "Why then are not golden bracelets bestowed on him, or angels sent along with him?" 53 So he made his people unsteady, and they obeyed him; surely they were an ungodly people. 54 Then when they displeased Us, We inflicted a retribution on them, so We drowned them all together, 55 And made them a precedent and example for posterity. 56
