6Despite all this, the human being still transgresses.
Explanatory translation
6The truth is that ingratitude, too, is among the traits with which the human being was created. So does the human being value all these gifts and act in accordance with the purpose of his creation? Sadly, no. Indeed, despite so much kindness from his Lord, the disbelieving human being imagines that he needs no one, and the knowledge, power, and wealth he possesses make him insolent. Relying on his wealth, he goes to extremes in rebellion and injustice, transgresses, and oversteps his bounds. Forgetting that he was created, he imagines that his wealth will make him immortal, and in the end he suffers loss. In his insolence, he makes a god of himself, as the pharaohs did. Why?
