then from a clinging mass,
then He brings you forth as infants,
then [He nourishes you] so that you may come of age,
then that you may become aged
— though there are some of you who die earlier —

70 — Those who deny the Book
and what we have sent with Our apostles.

71 when, [with] iron collars around their necks
and chains,
they are dragged
72 into scalding waters
and then set aflame in the Fire.
73 Then they will be told,
‘Where are those you used to take as partners
74 besides Allah?’
They will say, ‘They have forsaken us.
