124 I shall certainly cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, then I shall crucify you all together!

125 They said: Surely to our Lord do we return.

126 And thou takest revenge on us only because we believed in the messages of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour out on us patience and cause us to die in submission (to Thee)!

127 And the chiefs of Pharaoh’s people said: Wilt thou leave Moses and his people to make mischief in the land and forsake thee and thy gods? He said: We will slay their sons and spare their women, and surely we are dominant over them.

128 Moses said to his people: Ask help from Allah and be patient. Surely the land is Allāh’s — He gives it for an inheritance to such of His servants as He pleases. And the end is for those who keep their duty.

129 They said: We were persecuted before thou camest to us and since thou hast come to us. He said: It may be that your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you rulers in the land, then He will see how you act.

130 And certainly We overtook Pharaoh’s people with droughts and diminution of fruits that they might be mindful.

131 But when good befell them they said: This is due to us. And when evil afflicted them, they attributed it to the ill-luck of Moses and those with him. Surely their evil fortune is only from Allāh, but most of them know not.

132 And they said: Whatever sign thou mayest bring to us to charm us therewith — we shall not believe in thee.

133 So We sent upon them widespread death, and the locusts and the lice and the frogs and the blood — clear signs. But they behaved haughtily and they were a guilty people.

134 And when the plague fell upon them, they said: O Moses, pray for us to thy Lord as He has made promise with thee. If thou remove the plague from us, we will certainly believe in thee and will let the Children of Israel go with thee.
