Hereafter will He turn you back into it again, and will bring you forth anew-
And God hath spread the earth for you like a carpet,
That ye may walk therein along spacious paths."'
Said Noah, "O my Lord! they rebel against me, and they follow those whose riches and children do but aggravate their ruin."
And they plotted a great plot;
And they said, "Forsake not your Gods; forsake not Wadd nor Sowah,
Nor Yaghuth and Yahuk and Nesr;"
And they caused many to err;2-and thou, too, O Muhammad! shalt be the means of increasing only error in the wicked-
Because of their sins they were drowned, and made to go into the Fire;
And they found that they had no helper save God.
