| 9. * | The Day that (all) things secret will be tested, |
| 10. * | (Man) will have no power, and no helper. |
| 11. * | By the Firmament which returns (in its round), |
| 12. * | And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),- |

| 16. * | And I am planning a scheme. |
| 17. * | Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). |
