I swear by the sky and by the Night-Comer,-

-and what may let you know what the Night-Comer is?

The star of piercing brightness!- -

-there is no human being, but there is a watcher over him.

So, let man consider of which stuff he is created.

He is created of spouting water

that comes out from between the loins and the chest-bones.

Surely He is Powerful to bring him back

on a day when all the secrets will be searched out,

and he will have neither strength (to defend), nor a supporter.

I swear by the sky that rains,

and the earth that cracks open (for plants),

this is a decisive word,

and it is not a joke.

They are devising plans,

and I Am devising plans.

So leave the disbelievers alone at the moment; give them respite for a while.
