Does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flow beneath me, so do you not see? 43.52 - Or am I better than this (man) who is weak and can hardly explain (himself). 43.53 - And why have there not been thrown at him a bracelet of gold or come with him the angels as comrades? 43.54 - So he bluffed his people, but they obeyed him; indeed, they were disobedient people. 43.55 - And when they displeased Us, We took retribution from them, so We drowned them all together. 43.56 - And We made them a precedent and example to the later (people). 43.57 - And when the son of Mariam was struck as an example, at once your people hinder away from it. 43.58 - And they said: Are our gods better, or is he? They did not strike it (the comparison) except for arguing.
