78.21 . Lo! hell lurketh in ambush ,

78.22 . A home for the rebellious .

78.23 . They will abide therein for ages .

78.24 . Therein taste they neither coolness nor ( any ) drink

78.25 . Save boiling water and a paralyzing cold :

78.26 . Reward proportioned ( to their evil deeds ) .

78.27 . For lo! they looked not for a reckoning ;

78.28 . They called Our revelations false with strong denial .

78.29 . Everything have We recorded in a Book .

78.30 . So taste ( of that which ye have earned ) . No increase do We give you save of torment .

78.31 . Lo! for the duteous is achievement

78.32 . Gardens enclosed and vineyards ,

78.33 . And voluptuous women of equal age;

78.34 . And a full cup .

78.35 . There hear they never vain discourse , nor lying

78.36 . Requital from thy Lord a gift in payment

78.37 . Lord of the heavens and the earth , and ( all ) that is between them , the Beneficent ; with Whom none can converse .

78.38 . On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed , they speak not , saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right .

78.39 . That is the True Day . So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord .

78.40 . Lo! We warn you of a doom at hand , a day whereon a man will look on that which his own hands have sent before , and the disbeliever will cry : "Would that I were dust!"
