LORD'S benefits will ye ungratefully deny? This _is_ hell which the
wicked deny as a falsehood: they shall pass to and fro between the same
and hot boiling water. Which, therefore, of your LORD'S benefits will ye
ungratefully deny? But for him who dreadeth the tribunal of his LORD
_are prepared_ two gardens: (Which, therefore, of your LORD'S benefits
will ye ungratefully deny?) In each of them _shall be_ two fountains
flowing. Which, therefore, of your LORD'S benefits will ye ungratefully
deny? In each of them _shall there be_ of every fruit two kinds. Which,
therefore, of your LORD'S benefits will ye ungratefully deny? They shall
repose on couches, the linings whereof _shall be_ of thick silk
interwoven with gold; and the fruit of the two gardens _shall be_ near
at hand _to gather_. Which, therefore, of your LORD'S benefits will ye
ungratefully deny? Therein _shall receive them beauteous damsels_,
refraining their eyes _from beholding any besides their spouses_: whom
no man shall have deflowered before them, neither any Jinn: (Which,
therefore, of your LORD'S benefits will ye ungratefully deny?) _Having
complexions_ like rubies and pearls. Which, therefore, of your LORD'S
benefits will ye ungratefully deny? _Shall_ the reward of good works
_be_ any other good? Which, therefore, of your LORD'S benefits will ye
ungratefully deny? And besides these there _shall be_ two _other_
gardens: (Which, therefore, of your LORD'S benefits will ye
ungratefully deny?) Of a dark green. Which, therefore, of your LORD'S
benefits will ye ungratefully deny? In each of them _shall be_ two
fountains pouring forth plenty of water. Which, therefore, of your
LORD'S benefits will ye ungratefully deny? In each of them _shall be_
fruits, and palm-trees, and pomegranates. Which, therefore, of your
LORD'S benefits will ye ungratefully deny? Therein _shall be_ agreeable
and beauteous _damsels_: Which, therefore, of your LORD'S benefits will
ye ungratefully deny? Whom no man shall have deflowered before _their
destined spouses_, nor any Jinn. Which, therefore, of your LORD'S
benefits will ye ungratefully deny? _Therein shall they delight
themselves_, lying on green cushions and beautiful carpets. Which,
therefore, of your LORD'S benefits will ye ungratefully deny? Blessed be
the name of thy LORD, possessed of glory and honor!
