86

1By the sky and the night-comer––

2What will explain to you what the night-comer is

3The piercing star––

4there is a watcher over every soul

5Man should reflect on what he was created from

6He is created from spurting fluid

7then he emerges from between the backbone and breastbone

8God is certainly able to bring him back to life

9On the Day when secrets are laid bare

10he will have no power and no one to help him

11By the sky and its recurring rain

12by the earth that cracks open

13This is truly a decisive statement

14it is not something to be taken lightly

15They plot and scheme

16but so do I

17[Prophet], let the disbelievers be, let them be for a while
