We sent Moses to the Pharaoh and his nobles with Our miracles and he said, "I am the Messenger of the Lord of the Universe". 46 So when he brought Our signs to them, they started mocking at them! 47 Every Sign that We showed them was greater than its predecessor; and then We seized them with Our chastisement so that they may return (to the Right Way). 48 And they said [to Moses], "O magician, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. Indeed, we will be guided." 49 But whenever We removed the suffering from them, lo! they would break their word. 50 The Pharaoh shouted to his people, "My people, is the kingdom of Egypt not mine? and can you not see that the streams flow from beneath my palace? 51 “Or that I am better than him, for he is lowly – and he does not seem to talk plainly.” 52 Why have bracelets of gold not been given to him and why have some angels not accompanied him?" 53 Then he incited his people and they obeyed him; verily they were ever a transgressing people. 54 So when they made Us wrathful, We took revenge from them – We therefore drowned all of them. 55 and so We made them a thing of the past, and an example to those who would come after them. 56
