Explanatory translation

13Does that disbeliever never take a hard look at himself? What if the one who seeks to obstruct others is himself denying the truth and turning away from faith? Will he then be able to escape Our punishment? Consider this, too: if the people you support have denied the truth that came from Allah and turned away from His verses, and you follow them blindly, how will you be able to face your Lord tomorrow?
