Before them, the people of Noah denied ˹the truth˺ and rejected Our servant, calling ˹him˺ insane. And he was intimidated.
١٠
So he cried out to his Lord, “I am helpless, so help ˹me˺!”
١١
So We opened the gates of the sky with pouring rain,
١٢
and caused the earth to burst with springs, so the waters met for a fate already set.
١٣
We carried him on that ˹Ark made˺ of planks and nails,
١٤
sailing under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes—a ˹fair˺ punishment on behalf of the one ˹they˺ denied.
١٥
We certainly left this1 as a sign. So is there anyone who will be mindful?
١٦
Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings!
