1CONSIDER these [messages,] sent forth in waves

2and then storming on with a tempest's force!

3Consider these [messages] that spread [the truth] far and wide,

4thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity,

5and then giving forth a reminder,

6[promising] freedom from blame or [offering] a warning!

7BEHOLD, all that you are told to expect will surely come to pass.

8Thus, [it will come to pass] when the stars are effaced,

9and when the sky is rent asunder,

10and when the mountains are scattered like dust,

11and when all the apostles are called together at a time appointed...

12For what day has the term [of all this] been set?

13For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]!

14And what could make thee conceive what that Day of Distinction will be?

15Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth!

16Did We not destroy [so many of] those [sinners] of olden days?

17And We shall let them be followed by those of later times:

18[for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin.

19Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth!
