Jonah
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[10:13]
And, indeed, We destroyed before your time [whole] generations when they [persistently] did evil although the apostles sent unto them brought them all evidence of the truth; for they refused to believe [them]. Thus do We requite people who are lost in sin.

* v.13 : Cf. 6:131-132. The phrase rendered by me as “the apostles sent unto them” reads, literally, “their apostles.” The sinners’ refusal to believe is expressed in the text by means of the construction wa-mā kānū li-yu’minū.
