35 And of gold. And all this is naught but a provision of this world’s life; and the Hereafter is with thy Lord only for the dutiful.

36 And whoever turns himself away from the remembrance of the Beneficent, We appoint for him a devil, so he is his associate.

37 And surely they hinder them from the (right) path, and they think that they are guided aright.

38 Until when he comes to Us, he says: O would that between me and thee there were the distance of the East and the West! so evil is the associate!

39 And as you did wrong, it will profit you naught this day that you are sharers in the chastisement.

40 Canst thou then make the deaf to hear or guide the blind and him who is in clear error?

41 So if We take thee away, still We shall exact retribution from them,

42 Or We shall show thee that which We promise them — surely We are Possessors of power over them.

43 So hold fast to that which has been revealed to thee; surely thou art on the right path.

44 And surely it is a reminder for thee and thy people, and you will be questioned.

45 And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent?

46 And truly We sent Moses with Our messages to Pharaoh and his chiefs, so he said: I am the messenger of the Lord of the worlds.

47 But when he brought them Our signs, lo! they laughed at them.

48 And We showed them not a sign but it was greater than its fellow, and We seized them with chastisement that they might turn.

49 And they said: O enchanter, call on thy Lord for us, as He has made the covenant with thee; we shall surely follow guidance.

50 But when We removed from them the chastisement, lo! they broke the pledge.
