39وَالَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِآياتِنا صُمٌّ وَبُكمٌ فِي الظُّلُماتِ ۗ مَن يَشَإِ اللَّهُ يُضلِلهُ وَمَن يَشَأ يَجعَلهُ عَلىٰ صِراطٍ مُستَقيمٍMuhammad AsadAnd they who give the lie to Our messages are deaf and dumb, in darkness deep. Whomever God wills,He lets go astray; and whomever He wills, He places upon a straight way.1See note 4 on 14:4.
