79* So Slih left them, saying: "O my people! I did indeed convey to you the message for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but ye love not good counselors!"  
| |80* We also (sent) Lt: He said to his people: "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you?  
| |81* "For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women : ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds."  
| |82* And his people gave no answer but this: they said, "Drive them out of your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!"  
| |83* But we saved him and his family, except his wife: she was of those who legged behind.  
| |84* And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): Then see what was the end of those who indulged in sin and crime!

Give just measure and weight, nor withhold from the people the things that are their due; and do no mischief on the earth after it has been set in order: that will be best for you, if ye have Faith.  
| |86* "And squat not on every road, breathing threats, hindering from the path of Allah those who believe in Him, and seeking in it something crooked; But remember how ye were little, and He gave you increase. And see what was the end of those who did mischief.  
| |87* "And if there is a party among you who believes in the Message with which I have been sent, and a party which does not believe, hold yourselves in patience until Allah doth decide between us: for He is the best to decide."  
| |88* The leaders, the arrogant party among his people, said: "O Shuib! we shall certainly drive thee out of our city - (thee) and those who believe with thee; or else ye (thou and they) shall have to return to our religion." He said: "What! even though we do detest (them)?
