CONSIDER the fig and the olive,

and Mount Sinai,

and this land secure!

Verily, We create man in the best conformation;

and thereafter We reduce him to the lowest of low

excepting only such as attain to faith and do good works: and theirs shall be a reward unending!

What, then, [O man,] could henceforth cause thee to give the lie to this moral law?

Is not God the most just of judges?
