| 10. * | and shewn him the two highways of good and evil? |
| 11. * | Yet he attempteth not the cliff. |

| 13. * | It is to free the captive; |
| 14. * | or to feed, in the day of famine, |
| 15. * | the orphan who is of kin, |
| 16. * | or the poor man who lieth on the ground. |
| 17. * | Whoso doth this, and is one of those who believe, and recommend perseverance unto each other, and recommend mercy unto each other; |

| 19. * | But they who shall disbelieve our signs, shall be the companions of the left-hand: |
| 20. * | Above them shall be arched fire. |
