And the stupor of death shall come in truth;—“this is what thou would’st have avoided.”

And the trumpet shall be blown,—that is the Day of the Threat!

And every soul shall come, along with a driver and a witness—

“Thou didst not heed this: so we have taken away from thee thy veil, and to-day thy sight is keen.”

And his companion shall say, “This is what I am ready to witness.”

“Cast ye into Hell every unbelieving rebel,

Hinderer of the good, transgressor, doubter,

Who setteth up other gods with God; cast ye him into the fierce torment.”

His companion shall say, “O our Lord! I misled him not; but he was in fathomless error.”

God shall say, “Wrangle not before me, for I charged you before about the threat.
