﴾174﴿ And thus do We explain the verses in detail (for their remembrance) and that they may return (to the truth)

﴾176﴿ And if We had willed, We would certainly have raised his rank because of his action on the signs, but He ended up in the world and he followed his desires, so his condition is like that of a dog: if you attack him, he will stick out his tongue, or if you let him, he will stick out his tongue This is the example of a people who denied Our verses, so explain this explanation so that they may reflect
﴾177﴿ Evil is the example of the people who denied Our signs and wronged themselves
