They will not believe in it until they see the grievous Penalty; (201)

But the (Penalty) will come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not; (202)

Then they will say: "Shall we be respited?" (203)

Do they then ask for Our Penalty to be hastened on? (204)

Seest thou? If We do let them enjoy (this life) for a few years, (205)

Yet there comes to them at length the (Punishment) which they were promised! (206)

It will profit them not that they enjoyed (this life)! (207)

Never did We destroy a population, but had its warners - (208)

By way of reminder; and We never are unjust. (209)

No evil ones have brought down this (Revelation): (210)
