He (Pharaoh) said (to Moses): 'Did We not bring you up when you were a child? And have you not spent years of your life amongst us? (18)

Yet you were ungrateful and have done the deed you did. ' (19)

He (Moses) replied: 'Indeed, I did that when I was among those who stray. (20)

I fled from you because I feared you. But my Lord has given me judgment and made me one of the Messengers. (21)

Is this then the blessing with which you reproach me, that you have the Children of Israel for worshipers! ' (22)

Pharaoh said: 'And what is the Lord of the Worlds? ' (23)

'He' (Moses) replied: 'is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if you believe! ' (24)

'Do you not hear? ' said he (Pharaoh) to those around him. (25)

He said, 'Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers, the ancients. ' (26)

(Pharaoh) said: 'Surely, the Messenger who has been sent to you is mad!' (27)
