[And] Noah continued: "O my Sustainer! Behold, they have opposed me [throughout,] for they follow people whose wealth and children lead them increasingly into ruin, 21 “And they carried out a very sinister scheme.” 22 inasmuch as they said [to their followers,] 'Do not ever abandon your gods: abandon neither Wadd nor Suwa', and neither Yaghuth nor Ya'uq nor Nasr!' 23 And they have led many astray. Increase Thou not the evildoers save in error!' 24 Because of their sins, they were drowned and made to enter hell. They could find no one to help them besides God. 25 And Nuh (Noah) said: "My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers on the earth! 26 For surely if Thou leave them they will lead astray Thy servants, and will not beget any but immoral, ungrateful (children) 27 My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction." 28
