72:5
And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak a lie about God.
72:6
And there were men from mankind who sought refuge with the men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.
72:7

72:9
And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.
72:10
And we do not know whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends a right course for them.
72:11
And among us are the righteous, and among us are [others] not so; we were [of] divided ways.
72:12
And we have become certain that we will never escape God upon earth, nor can we escape Him by flight.
