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)

And We destroyed no township but it had its warners (208)

For reminder, for We never were oppressors. (209)

The devils did not bring it down. (210)
