68.4.4 . And lo! thou art of a tremendous nature .
68.5.5 . And thou wilt see and they will see
68.6.6 . Which of you is the demented .
68.7.7 . Lo! thy Lord is best aware of him who strayeth from his way , and He is best aware of those who walk aright .
68.8.8 . Therefor obey not thou the rejecters
68.9.9 . Who would have had thee compromise , that they may compromise .
68.10.10 . Neither obey thou each feeble oath monger ,
68.11.11 . Detractor , spreader abroad of slanders?
68.12.12 . Hinderer of the good , transgressor , malefactor
68.13.13 . Greedy therewithal , intrusive .
68.14.14 . It is because he is possessed of wealth and children

68.16.16 . We shall brand him on the nose .
68.17.17 . Lo! we have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden when they vowed they would pluck its fruit next morning .
68.18.18 . And made no exception ( for the will of Allah ) ;
68.19.19 . Then a visitation came upon it while they slept
68.20.20 . And in the morning it was as if plucked .
