⁷² Remember ye slew a man and fell into a dispute among yourselves as to the crime: But God was to bring forth what ye did hide.

⁷³ So We said: "Strike the (body) with a piece of the (heifer)." Thus God bringeth the dead to life and showeth you His Signs: Perchance ye may understand.

⁷⁴ Thenceforth were your hearts hardened: They became like a rock and even worse in hardness. For among rocks there are some from which rivers gush forth; others there are which when split asunder send forth water; and others which sink for fear of God. And God is not unmindful of what ye do.

⁷⁵ Can ye (O ye men of Faith) entertain the hope that they will believe in you?—Seeing that a party of them heard the Word of God, and perverted it knowingly after they understood it.

⁷⁶ Behold! when they meet the men of Faith, they say: "We believe": but when they meet each other in private, they say: "Shall you tell them what God hath revealed to you, that they may engage you in argument about it before your Lord?"—Do ye not understand (their aim)?

⁷⁷ Know they not that God knoweth what they conceal and what they reveal?

⁷⁸ And there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book, but (see therein their own) desires, and they do nothing but conjecture.

⁷⁹ Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from God," to traffic with it for miserable price!—Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.

⁸⁰ And they say: "The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days:" Say: "Have ye taken a promise from God, for He never breaks His promise? or is it that ye say of God what ye do not know?"

⁸¹ Nay, those who seek gain in evil, and are girt round by their sins,—they are Companions of the Fire: Therein shall they abide (For ever).

⁸² But those who have faith and work righteousness, they are Vompanions of the Garden: Therein shall they abide (For ever).
