69:9 Also, Pharaoh and those who came before him, and the overturned cities [of Lot] committed the grave sin,

69:10 each disobeying the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a severe punishment.

69:11 Indeed, when the floodwater overflowed, We carried you [O humans] in the sailing Ark[1],

69:12 so that We might make it a reminder for you, and that attentive ears may take heed.

69:13 Then when the Trumpet is blown with a single blast,

69:14 and the earth and mountains are lifted up and crushed with a single blow,

69:15 on that Day the Inevitable Event will occur.

69:16 And the sky will split asunder and will be frail[1] on that day,

69:17 with the angels on all its sides, and on that Day, eight [mighty angels] will bear the Throne of your Lord above them.

69:18 On that day, you will be brought forth [before Allah], and none of your secrets will remain hidden.

69:27 Would that it [i.e., death] had been the end of me[1]!

69:28 My wealth has been of no avail to me.

69:29 My authority has vanished[1].”

69:30 [It will be said,] “Seize him and shackle him,

69:31 then make him burn in the Blazing Fire,

69:32 then tie him up with a chain of seventy cubits long.

69:33 For he did not believe in Allah, the Most Great,

69:34 nor did he encourage feeding the needy.

69:35 So Today he will have no close friend here,
