observe) how many generations We destroyed before them, amid whose dwelling
places they do walk? Lo! therein verily are portents! Will they not then heed?

many of the generations, in whose abodes they go about, did We destroy before
them? Most surely there are signs in this; will they not then hear?

lead the water to the barren land and therewith bring forth crops whereof their
cattle eat, and they themselves? Will they not then see?

having no herbage, then We bring forth thereby seed-produce of which their
cattle and they themselves eat; will they not then see?

judgment take place, If you are truthful?

will believe) will not avail them, neither will they be reprieved.

(now) disbelieve will not profit them, nor will they be respited.

wait, surely they too are waiting.
