IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[20:86]
Thereupon Moses returned to his people full of wrath and sorrow, [and] exclaimed: "O my people! Did not your Sustainer hold out [many] a goodly promise to you? Did, then, [the fulfilment of] this promise seem to you too long in coming? Or are you, perchance, determined to see your Sustainer’s condemnation fall upon you, and so you broke your promise to me?"

* v.86 : Or, according to Zamakhsharī: “Did, then, the time [of my absence] seem too long to you?” (It is to be noted that the term ‘ahd signifies a “time” or “period” as well as a “covenant” or promise.”)
* Lit., “Or have you decided that condemnation by your Sustainer should fall due upon you?” – i.e., “are you determined to disregard the consequences of your doings?”
