Thamood, too, belied Our warnings. 23 And they said: a mere human being from amongst us, and single! shall we follow him! verily then we should fall in error and madness. 24 Out of all of us has the Reminder been given to him alone? Rather, he is indeed an arrogant liar' 25 [And God said:] "On the morrow they will come to know who the boastful liar is! 26 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water". 28 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Then We sent against them one Shout and they became like the trampled twigs of the (sheep) penbuilder. 31 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 32 The folk of Lot rejected warnings. 33 We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,- 34 a blessing from Us; even so We recompense him who is thankful. 35 Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed the warnings -- 36 They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings! 37 One early morning Our torment brought upon them utter destruction. 38 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
