| 5. * | The similitude of those who were charged with the (obligations of the) Mosaic Law, but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is that of a donkey which carries huge tomes (but understands them not).

| 7. * | But never will they express their desire (for Death), because of the (deeds) their hands have sent on before them! and Allah knows well those that do wrong! | But never will they long for it, because [they are aware] of what their hands have wrought in this world; [7]7 and God has full knowledge of evildoers. | And they do not wish/desire it ever (E) because (of) what their hands advanced/presented, and God (is) knowledgeable with the unjust/oppressors. | wlaytmnwnh abda bma qdmt aydyhm wallh `lym balZalmyn | |||

[14]14 Say: "That which is with God is far better than all passing delight and all gain! And God is the best of providers!" | And if they saw/understood commercial trade/buying and selling or play things/amusement, they scattered/separated to it, and they left you standing, say: "What (is) at God (is) better than the play things/amusement and from the commercial trade/buying and selling, and God (is) best (of) the providers." | waXa rawa tjar+ aw lhwa anfDwa alyha wtrkwk qaYma ql ma`nd allh Kyr mn allhw wmn altjar+ wallh Kyr alrazqyn | |||
