We have placed the signs of the Zodiac in the sky, and decked it out for those who can see; 16 and have protected them against every accursed satan 17 so that anyone who seeks to learn [the unknowable] by stealth is pursued by a flame clear to see. 18 And the earth -- We stretched it forth, and cast on it firm mountains, and We caused to grow therein of every thing justly weighed, 19 And We have provided sustenance for you on it and also for those of whom you are not the providers. 20 And there is not of aught but with Us are the treasures thereof, and We send it not down save in a measure known 21 We send impregnating winds and send down water from the sky for you to drink and you have no (control over its) storage. 22 And certainly We! We it is Who give life, and cause death, and We are the Inheritors. 23 And indeed, We know the first generations of you who had passed away, and indeed, We know the present generations of you (mankind), and also those who will come afterwards. 24 and it is your Lord who will gather them. He is Wise, Knowing. 25
