arrogance,- a people given to sin.

P: So We sent against 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 a guilty folk.

Y: Every time the penalty fell on them, they said: "O Moses! on your

with you the children of Israel.

P: Therefore We took retribution from them; therefore We drowned them in
the sea: because they denied Our revelations and were heedless of them.

Y: And We made a people, considered weak (and of no account), inheritors
of lands in both east and west, - lands whereon We sent down Our
blessings. The fair promise of thy Lord was fulfilled for the Children
of Israel, because they had patience and constancy, and We levelled to
the ground the great works and fine buildings which Pharaoh and his
people erected (with such pride).

P: And We caused the folk who were despised to inherit the eastern parts
