English Translation
32For this reason We decreed for the Children of Israel: "Whoever takes a life, other than in return for a murder or for spreading discord and corruption on the earth, it is as though he has killed all mankind. And whoever saves or protects the life of a single human being, it is as though he has given life to all mankind." Indeed, Our messengers came to them with all the proofs of the truth, yet even after that many of them went on acting with insolence and excess on the earth.
