| |12* That has created pairs in all things, and has made for you ships and cattle on which ye ride,  
| |13* In order that ye may sit firm and square on their backs, and when so seated, ye may remember the (kind) favor of your Lord, and say, "Glory to Him Who has subjected these to our (use), for we could never be able to do it,
