[7:121]

Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,

[7:122]

The Lord of Moses and Aaron.

[7:123]

Pharaoh said: Ye believe in Him before I give you leave! Lo! this is the plot that ye have plotted in the city that ye may drive its people hence. But ye shall come to know!

[7:124]

Surely I shall have your hands and feet cut off upon alternate sides. Then I shall crucify you every one.

[7:125]

They said: Lo! We are about to return unto our Lord!

[7:126]

Thou takest vengeance on us only forasmuch as we believed the tokens of our Lord when they came unto us. Our Lord! Vouchsafe unto us steadfastness and make us die as men who have surrendered (unto Thee).

[7:127]

The chiefs of Pharaoh’s people said: (O King), wilt thou suffer Moses and his people to make mischief in the land, and flout thee and thy gods ? He said: We will slay their sons and spare their women, for lo! we are in power over them.

[7:128]

And Moses said unto his people: Seek help in Allah and endure. Lo! the earth is Allah’s. He giveth it for an inheritance to whom He will. And lo! the sequel is for those who keep their duty (unto Him).

[7:129]

They said: We suffered hurt before thou camest unto us, and since thou hast come unto us. He said: It may be that your Lord is going to destroy your adversary and make you viceroys in the earth, that He may see how ye behave.

[7:130]

And we straitened Pharaoh’s folk with famine and dearth of fruits, that peradventure they might heed.
