If We had revealed it to a nonArab, (198)

and he had recited it to them, they would not have believed. (199)

Even so, We have caused it to enter into the hearts of harmdoers: (200)

they shall not believe in it until they see the painful punishment (201)

so that it will come upon them suddenly, while they are unaware, (202)

and then they will say: 'Shall we be respited? ' (203)

Do they wish to hasten Our punishment? (204)

What do you see? If We gave them enjoyment for years, (205)

and then what they were promised comes to them, (206)

what avail will their past enjoyments be to them? (207)
