17So, O you to whom this call is addressed! If you too now persist in disbelief despite all these warnings, and if you take no lesson from what the Prophet conveys and deny as Pharaoh did, how will you protect yourselves from Allah’s punishment on a day that will turn even children’s hair white with fear and make them white-haired old men? You never can.
