LI.
For those who have disbelieved in their Lord [is prepared] the punishment of hell; and evil [shall be] the journey.[143]
When they shall be cast into it they shall hear it braying,[144] while it boileth, well-nigh bursting with fury.
(lxvii. 6-8.)
LII.
If thou shouldst see[145] those who have offended[146] when they see the punishment![147]—for power belongeth altogether unto God, and God is severe in punishing:
When those who have been followed will declare themselves clear of those who have followed [them],[148] when they have seen the punishment, and the ties [that bound them together] shall be severed from them:
And those who have followed shall say, ‘O that there were for us a return to the world! then would we declare ourselves clear of them, like as they have now declared themselves clear of us!’ After this manner will God show them their evil works, for which [they shall pour forth] lamentations; and they shall not come forth from the fire.
(ii. 160-162.)
