| 9. * | And a tongue and two lips, |
| 10. * | And pointed out to him the two conspicuous ways? |
| 11. * | But he would not attempt the uphill road, |

| 14. * | Or the giving of food in a day of hunger |

| 16. * | Or to the poor man lying in the dust. |

| 18. * | These are the people of the right hand. |
| 19. * | And (as for) those who disbelieve in our communications, they are the people of the left hand. |
| 20. * | On them is fire closed over. |
