فَأَكْثَرُوا فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ ١٢
And heaped therein mischief (on mischief).
89:13
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ ١٣
Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements:
89:14
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ ١٤
For thy Lord is (as a Guardian) on a watch-tower.
89:15
فَأَمَّا الْإِنْسَانُ إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَكْرَمَنِ ١٥
Now, as for man, when his Lord trieth him, giving him honour and gifts, then saith he, (puffed up), "My Lord hath honoured me."
89:16
وَأَمَّا إِذَا مَا ابْتَلَاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّي أَهَانَنِ ١٦
But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!"
