or lest you say, "If a divine writ had been bestowed from on high upon us, we would surely have followed its guidance better than they did."1 And so, a clear evidence of the truth has now come unto you from your Sustainer, and guidance, and grace. Who, then, could be more wicked than he who gives the lie to God's messages, and turns away from them in disdain? We shail requite those who turn away from Our messages in disdain with evil suffering for having thus turned away!
