2 And the winds that blow violently

2 By the raging hurricanes,

2 By the raging hurricanes,

3 And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

3 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive;

3 Which scatter clouds to their destined places,

4 And those [angels] who bring criterion

4 By those who winnow with a winnowing,

4 Then separate them one from another,

5 And those [angels] who deliver a message

5 By those who bring down the Reminder,

5 Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,

6 As justification or warning,

6 To excuse or to warn,

6 To clear or to warn.

7 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

7 Surely that which ye are promised will befall.

7 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass.
