Verses 1–3 of 3

  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    And remember ye said: "O Moses! we cannot endure One kind of food (always); So beseech thy Lord for us To produce for us of what the earth Groweth,—its pot-herbs, and cucumbers, Its garlic, lentils, and onions." He said: "Will ye exchange The better for the worse? Go ye down to any town," And ye shall find what ye want!" They were covered with humiliation And misery; they drew On themselves the wrath of God. This because they went on Rejecting the Signs of God And slaying His Messengers Without just cause. This because they rebelled And went on transgressing.

    Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:61
  2. Each word opens its meaning.

    Unless ye go forth, He will punish you With a grievous penalty, And put others in your place; But Him ye would not harm In the least. For God Hath power over all things.

    Surah At-Tawbah, verse 9:39
  3. Each word opens its meaning.

    Behold, ye are those Invited to spend (Of your substance) In the Way of God: But among you are some That are niggardly. But any Who are niggardly are so At the expense of Their own souls. But God is free Of all wants, And it is ye that are needy. If ye turn back (From the Path), He will Substitute in your stead Another people; then they Would not be like you!

    Surah Muhammad, verse 47:38
