17 This day every soul is rewarded what it has earned. No injustice this day! Surely Allāh is Swift in Reckoning.

18 And warn them of the day that draws near, when hearts, grieving inwardly, rise up to the throats. The iniquitous will have no friend, nor any intercessor who should be obeyed.

19 He knows the dishonesty of eyes and that which the breasts conceal.

20 And Allāh judges with truth. And those whom they call upon besides Him judge naught! Surely Allāh is the Hearing, the Seeing.

21 Have they not travelled in the land and seen what was the end of those who were before them? Mightier than these were they in strength and in fortifications in the land, but Allāh destroyed them for their sins. And they had none to protect them from Allāh.

22 That was because there came to them their messengers with clear arguments, but they disbelieved, so Allāh destroyed them. Surely He is Strong, Severe in Retribution.

23 And certainly We sent Moses with Our messages and clear authority,

24 To Pharaoh and Hāmān and Korah, but they said: A lying enchanter!

25 So when he brought to them the Truth from Us, they said: Slay the sons of those who believe with him and keep their women alive. And the plot of the disbelievers is bound to fail.

26 And Pharaoh said: Leave me to slay Moses and let him call upon his Lord. Surely I fear that he will change your religion or that he will make mischief to appear in the land.

27 And Moses said: Truly I seek refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every proud one who believes not in the day of Reckoning.

28 And a believing man of Pharaoh’s people, who hid his faith, said: Will you slay a man because he says, My Lord is Allāh, and indeed he has brought you clear arguments from your Lord? And if he be a liar, on him will be his lie, and if he be truthful, there will befall you some of that which he threatens you with. Surely Allāh guides not one who is a prodigal, a liar.
