15 And they sought judgment, and every insolent opposer was disappointed:

16 Hell is before him and he is given to drink of boiling water;

17 He drinks it little by little and is not able to swallow it; and death comes to him from every quarter, yet he dies not. And before him is vehement chastisement.

18 The parable of those who disbelieve in their Lord: Their works are as ashes on which the wind blows hard on a stormy day. They have no power over aught they have earned. That is straying far away.

19 Seest thou not that Allāh created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He please, He will take you away and bring a new creation,

20 And that is not difficult for Allāh.

21 And they will all come forth to Allāh, then the weak will say to those who were proud: We were your followers, can you then avert from us aught of the chastisement of Allāh? They will say: If Allāh had guided us, we would have guided you. It is the same to us whether we cry or bear patiently; there is no escape for us.

22 And the devil will say, when the matter is decided: Surely Allāh promised you a promise of truth, and I promised you, then failed you. And I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you obeyed me; so blame me not but blame yourselves. I cannot come to your help, nor can you come to my help. I deny your associating me with Allāh before. Surely for the unjust is a painful chastisement.

23 And those who believe and do good are made to enter Gardens, wherein flow rivers, abiding therein by their Lord’s permission. Their greeting therein is, Peace!

24 Seest thou not how Allāh sets forth a parable of a good word as a good tree, whose root is firm and whose branches are high,

25 Yielding its fruit in every season by the permission of its Lord? And Allāh sets forth parables for men that they may be mindful.

26 And the parable of an evil word is as an evil tree pulled up from the earth’s surface; it has no stability.
