Sent to thee,
And sent before thy time,
And (in their hearts)
Have the assurance of the Hereafter.

It is the same to them
Whether thou warn them
Or do not warn them;
They will not believe.

7. God hath set a seal
On their hearts and on their hearing,
And on their eyes is a veil;
Great is the penalty they (incur).
