So what? It caused that we made that hardship upon them that the distant call from goodness and safety has not ceased, which is their saying: 'Woe to us!' Their calling is repeated; there is no call for them other than it. For woe is attached to them and does not separate from them, and their gentleness towards it is of no benefit to them. Until we made them, by our greatness, like harvested crops.

And when this and what follows is like sweet and sour in time, they were made one news so that 'made' is limited to two objects. And he said: 'extinguished' meaning gathering for cessation and fading, there is no movement for them nor sound, like a blazing fire when its flame ceases, then its embers become ashes. Their faith and acknowledgment of wrongdoing and their submission when they saw our hardship was of no benefit to them.
