١٦
Do you feel secure that the One Who is in heaven will not cause the earth to swallow you up as it quakes violently?
١٧
Or do you feel secure that the One Who is in heaven will not unleash upon you a storm of stones. Only then would you know how ˹serious˺ My warning was!
١٨
And certainly those before them denied ˹as well˺, then how severe was My response!
١٩
Have they not seen the birds above them, spreading and folding their wings? None holds them up except the Most Compassionate. Indeed, He is All-Seeing of everything.
٢٠

٢١
Or who is it that will provide for you if He withholds His provision? In fact, they persist in arrogance and aversion ˹to the truth˺.
٢٢
Who is ˹rightly˺ guided: the one who crawls facedown or the one who walks upright on the Straight Path?
٢٣
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “He is the One Who brought you into being and gave you hearing, sight, and intellect. ˹Yet˺ you hardly give any thanks.”
