The bad end of the disbelievers and the good end of the believers

We afflicted the people of Pharaoh with famine and dearth of everything that they might take heed.

Yet when good came their way they said: "It is our due;" but when misfortune befell them they put the omen down to Moses and those who were with him. But surely the omen was with God, yet most of them did not understand.

They said: "Whatsoever the sign you have brought to deceive us, we shall not believe in you."

So We let loose on them floods and locusts, and vermin, frogs and blood -- how many different signs. But they still remained arrogant, for they were a people full of sin.

Yet when punishment overtook them, they said: "O Moses, invoke your Lord for us as you have been enjoined. If the torment is removed, we shall certainly believe in you and let the people of Israel go with you."

But no sooner was the punishment withdrawn for a time to enable them to make good their promise than they broke it.

So We took vengeance on them, and drowned them in the sea for rejecting Our signs and not heeding them.

We then made the people who were weak (and oppressed) successors of the land to the East and the West which We had blessed. Thus the fair promise of your Lord to the children of Israel was fulfilled, for they were patient in adversity; and whatsoever the Pharaoh and his people had fashioned, and the structures they had raised, were destroyed.
