Even if We take you away, We will wreak vengeance upon them.
Or show you what We have promised them; for We have absolute power over them.
So adhere to what is revealed to you. You are upon a straight path.
It is a message for you, and for your people; and you will be questioned.
Ask those of Our messengers We sent before you: "Did We appoint gods besides the Most Gracious to be worshiped?"
We sent Moses with Our revelations to Pharaoh and his dignitaries. He said, "I am the Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds."
But when he showed them Our signs, they started laughing at them.
Each sign We showed them was more marvelous than its counterpart. And We afflicted them with the plagues, so that they may repent.
They said, "O sorcerer, pray to your Lord for us, according to His pledge to you, and then we will be guided."
But when We lifted the torment from them, they immediately broke their promise.
