M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

146. Will you be left secure in what is here:

147. In gardens and fountains,

148. And corn-fields and palm-trees having fine spadices?

149. And you hew houses out of the mountains exultingly:

150. Therefore guard against (the punishment of) Allah and obey me:

151. And do not obey the bidding of the extravagant:

152. Who make mischief in the land and do not act aright.

153. They said: You are only of the deluded ones:

154. You are naught but a mortal like ourselves; so bring a sign if you are one of the truthful.

155. He said: This is a she- camel; she shall have her portion of water, and you have your portion of water on an appointed time:

156. And do not touch her with evil, lest the punishment of a grievous day should overtake you.

157. But they stabbed her, then regretted;

158. So the punishment overtook them. Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.

159. And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.

160. The people of Lut gave the lie to the apostles.
