When one blast shall be blown on the trumpet, And the earth shall be raised and the mountains, and be broken to dust with one breaking, On that day the Calamity shall come to pass: And the heavens shall cleave asunder, being frail on that day, And the angels on the sides thereof; and over them on that day eight _of the angels_ shall bear the throne of thy Lord. On that day ye shall be presented _for the reckoning_; none of your secrets shall be hidden. And as to him who shall have his book[108] given to him in his right hand, he shall say, 'Take ye, read my book;' Verily I was sure I should come to my reckoning. And his [shall be] a pleasant life In a lofty garden, Whose clusters [shall be] near at hand. 'Eat ye and drink with benefit on account of that which ye paid beforehand in the past days.' [Sidenote: The fate of the wicked] But as to him who shall have his book given to him in his left hand, he shall say, 'O would that I had not had my book given to me, Nor known what [was] my reckoning! O would that _my death_ had been the ending _of me_! My wealth hath not profited me! My power is passed from me!' 'Take him and chain him, Then cast him into hell to be burnt, Then in a chain of seventy cubits bind him: For he believed not in God, the Great, Nor urged to feed the poor; Therefore he shall not have here this day a friend, Nor any food save filth Which none but the sinners shall eat.' [Sidenote: "The preceders"]
