49ذُق إِنَّكَ أَنتَ العَزيزُ الكَريمُMuhammad AsadTaste it - thou who [on earth] hast considered thyself so mighty, so noble!1Lit., "for, behold, thou wert...", etc. - thus alluding to the sin of arrogance due to disbelief in a continuation of life after death and, hence, in man's ultimate responsibility to God. (Cf. - "Verily, man becomes grossly overweening whenever he believes himself to be self-sufficient" - and the corresponding note 4.)
