Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad! 24 Out of all of us has the Reminder been given to him alone? Rather, he is indeed an arrogant liar' 25 [We said to him] "Tomorrow they shall know who is the boastful liar, 26 Verily We are sending the she-camel as a test for them, so watch them thou and have patience. 27 “And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 29 How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings! 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 32 LOT'S PEOPLE [too] gave the lie to all [Our] warnings: 33 We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,- 34 As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning. 36 and even demanded that he give up his guests [to them]: whereupon We deprived them of their sight [and thus told them, as it were]: "Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!" 37 And assuredly there met them early in the morning a torment settled. 38 So have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings. 39 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 40
