قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ ﴿۱۴﴾ فَمَا زَالَتْ تِلْكَ دَعْوَاهُمْ حَتَّى جَعَلْنَاهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَامِدِينَ ﴿۱۵﴾ وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاءَ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَاعِبِينَ ﴿۱۶﴾ لَوْ أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَتَّخِذَ لَهْوًا لَاتَّخَذْنَاهُ مِنْ لَدُنَّا إِنْ كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ ﴿۱۷﴾

﴾14﴿ They said, Woe to us! Indeed, we were truly wrongdoers
﴾15﴿ So that cry of theirs did not cease until We made them like a harvested field, lifeless and extinguished
﴾16﴿ And We did not create the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in play
﴾17﴿ If We had intended to take a pastime, We could have taken it from within Us, if We were to do so
