99* Did they then feel secure against Allah's devising - but no one can feel secure from the Plan of Allah, except those (doomed) to ruin!  
| |100* To those who inherit the earth in succession to its (previous) possessors, is it not a guiding, (lesson) that, if We so willed, We could punish them (too) for their sins, and seal up their hearts so that they could not hear?  
| |101* Such were the towns whose story We (thus) relate unto thee: There came indeed to them their messengers with clear (Signs): But they would not believe what they had rejected before. Thus doth Allah seal up the hearts of those who reject faith.  
| |102* Most of them We found not men (true) to their covenant: but most of them We found rebellious and disobedient.  
| |103* Then after them We sent Moses with Our Signs to Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they wrongfully rejected them: So see what was the end of those who made mischief.  
| |104* Moses said: "O Pharaoh! I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds,-  
| |105* One for whom it is right to say nothing but truth about Allah. Now have I come unto you (people), from your Lord, with a clear (Sign): So let the Children of Israel depart along with me."  
| |106* (Pharaoh) said: "If indeed thou hast come with a Sign, show it forth,- if thou tellest the truth."  
| |107* Then (Moses) threw his rod, and behold! it was a serpent, plain (for all to see)!  
| |108* And he drew out his hand, and behold! it was white to all beholders!
