And if We had revealed it unto one of any other nation than the Arabs, (198)

And he had read it unto them, they would not have believed in it. (199)

Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty. (200)

They will not believe in it till they behold the painful doom, (201)

So that it will come upon them suddenly, when they perceive not. (202)

Then they will say: Are we to be reprieved? (203)

Would they (now) hasten on Our doom? (204)

Hast thou then seen, if We content them for (long) years, (205)

And then cometh that which they were promised, (206)

(How) that wherewith they were contented naught availeth them? (207)
