7.121 . Crying : We believe in the Lord of the Worlds ,
7.122 . The Lord of Moses and Aaron .
7.123 . Pharaoh said : Ye believe in Him before I give you leave! Lo! this is the plot that ye have plotted in the city that ye may drive its people hence . But ye shall come to know!
7.124 . Surely I shall have your hands and feet cut off upon alternate sides . Then I shall crucify you every one .
7.125 . They said : Lo! We are about to return unto our Lord!
7.126 . Thou takest vengeance on us only forasmuch as we believed the tokens of our Lord when they came unto us . Our Lord! Vouchsafe unto us steadfastness and make us die as men who have surrendered ( unto Thee ) .
7.127 . The chiefs of Pharaoh ' s people said : ( O King ) , wilt thou suffer Moses and his people to make mischief in the land , and flout thee and thy gods? He said : We will slay their sons and spare their women , for lo! we are in power over them .
7.128 . And Moses said unto his people : Seek help in Allah and endure . Lo! the earth is Allah ' s . He giveth it for an inheritance to whom He will . And lo! the sequel is for those who keep their duty ( unto Him ) .
7.129 . They said : We suffered hurt before thou camest unto us , since thou hast come unto us . He said : it may be that your Lord is going to destroy your adversary and make you viceroys in the earth , that He may see how ye behave .
7.130 . And We straitened Pharaoh ' s folk with famine and the dearth of fruits , that peradventure they might heed .
7.131 . But whenever good befell them , they said : This is ours ; and whenever evil smote them they ascribed it to the evil auspices of Moses and those with him . Surely their evil auspice was only with Allah . But most of them knew not .
7.132 . And they said : Whatever portent thou bringest when with to bewitch us , we shall not put faith in thee .
7.133 . So We sent them the flood and the locusts and the vermin and the frogs and the blood a succession of clear signs . But they were arrogant and became guilty .
7.134 . And when the terror fell on them they cried : O Moses! Pray for us unto thy Lord , because He hath a covenant with thee . If thou removest the terror from us we verily will trust thee and will let the Children of Israel go with thee .
7.135 . But when We did remove from them the terror for a term which they must reach , behold! they broke their covenant
7.136 . Therefore We took retribution from them ; therefore We drowned them in the sea : because they denied Our revelations and were heedless of them .
7.137 . And We caused the folk who were devised to inherit the eastern parts of the land and the western parts thereof which We had blessed . And the fair word of the Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of their endurance ; and We annihilated ( all ) that Pharaoh and his folk had done and that they had contrived .
7.138 . And We brought the Children of Israel across the sea , and they came unto a people who were given up to idols which they had . They said : O Moses! Make for us a god even as they have gods . He said : Lo! ye are a folk who know not .
7.139 . Lo! as for these , their way will be destroyed and all that they are doing is in vain .
7.140 . He said : Shall I seek for you a god other than Allah when He hath favored you above ( all ) creatures?
