These are the verses of the Book that makes things clear.
3
It may be that you will destroy yourself with grief because they will not believe.
4
But if We had so willed, We could have sent down to them a sign from the heavens so that their heads would be bowed down before it in utter humility.
5
Whenever there comes to them any fresh warning from the Merciful, they always turn their backs on it:
6
they have indeed rejected the message. But the truth of what they laughed to scorn will dawn upon them before long.
7
Do they not see the earth, and what beneficial kinds of things We have caused to grow in it?
8
Surely in this there is a sign, yet most of them would not believe:
9
truly, your Lord is the Mighty One, the Merciful.
10
When your Lord called out to Moses, saying, 'Go to the wrongdoing people,
11
the people of Pharaoh, will they not fear God?
12
Moses replied, 'My Lord, I fear they will reject me,
13
and 'my breast is straitened and my tongue is not fluent; so send Aaron as well;
14
besides, they accuse me of a crime, and I fear that they may put me to death.'
15
God said, 'Indeed not; go both of you with Our signs, We shall be with you, listening (to your call).
16
Go to Pharaoh, both of you, and say, “We are messengers from the Lord of the Worlds:
17
let the Children of Israel go with us!”'
18
Pharaoh said to Moses, 'Did we not bring you up among us as a child? And you spent several years of your life with us.
19
Yet you committed the deed you did, surely you are one of the ingrates.'
20
Moses replied, 'I did that when I was one of the misguided,
21
and I fled from you because I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me one of the messengers.
22
And this is the favour with which you taunt methat you have enslaved the Children of Israel?'
23
Pharaoh said, 'What is this: Lord of the Universe?'
24
Moses said, 'Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if only you would be convinced.'
25
Pharaoh said to those around him, 'Did you hear?'
26
Moses went on, 'He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.'
27
Pharaoh said, 'This messenger who has been sent to you is surely possessed!'
28
Moses said, 'He is the Lord of the East and the West, and all that lies between them, if only you could understand.'
29
Pharaoh said, 'If you take any deity other than myself, I will throw you into prison,'
30
and Moses asked, 'Even if I show you a clear sign?'
