068.042 Y: The Day that the shin shall be laid bare, and they shall be summoned to bow in adoration, but they shall not be able,-
P: On the day when it befalleth in earnest, and they are ordered to prostrate themselves but are not able,
S: On the day when there shall be a severe affliction, and they shall be called upon to make obeisance, but they shall not be able,
068.043 Y: Their eyes will be cast down,- ignominy will cover them; seeing that they had been summoned aforetime to bow in adoration, while they were whole, (and had refused).
P: With eyes downcast, abasement stupefying them. And they had been summoned to prostrate themselves while they were yet unhurt.
S: Their looks cast down, abasement shall overtake them; and they were called upon to make obeisance indeed while yet they were safe.
068.044 Y: Then leave Me alone with such as reject this Message: by degrees shall We punish them from directions they perceive not.
P: Leave Me (to deal) with those who give the lie to this pronouncement.
We shall lead them on by steps from whence they know not.
S: So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement; We will overtake them by degrees, from whence they perceive not:
068.045 Y: A (long) respite will I grant them: truly powerful is My Plan.
