57 We have created you, why do you not then assent?

57 It is We Who have created you: why will ye not witness the Truth?

57 We created you. Will ye then admit the truth ?

58 Have you considered the seed?

58 Do ye then see? - The (human Seed) that ye throw out, -

58 Have ye seen that which ye emit ?

59 Is it you that create it or are We the creators?

65 Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment,

65 If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would ye cease not to exclaim:

66 Surely we are burdened with debt:

66 (Saying), "We are indeed left with debts (for nothing):

66 Lo! we are laden with debt!

81 Do you then hold this announcement in contempt?

81 Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?

81 Is it this Statement that ye scorn,

82 And to give (it) the lie you make your means of subsistence.

82 And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false?

82 And make denial thereof your livelihood ?

83 Why is it not then that when it (soul) comes up to the throat,

83 Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat, -

83 Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying)
