14En kâne ẕâ mâliv vebenîn.
English Translation
14So what if he has wealth, property, and children!
Explanatory translation
14Some of them are wrongdoers who boast of their abundant wealth and many children and see themselves as mighty. Moreover, never show closeness to those who swagger and transgress because they have wealth and children, and who consider themselves powerful. This type of person, because of his economic and social means, is seized by brazen arrogance. Believing that what was given to him by your Lord was earned by himself, he grows insolent.
