So the retribution came on them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers. (158)

And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful. (159)

The folk of Lot denied the messengers (of Allah), (160)

When their brother Lot said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)? (161)

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you, (162)

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me. (163)

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds. (164)

What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males, (165)

And leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are froward folk. (166)

They said: If thou cease not, O Lot, thou wilt soon be of the outcast. (167)
