We had seized them with the punishment , but they did not bow before their Lord nor turned to Him in humility ,

And indeed We grasped them with punishment , so neither did they submit themselves to their Lord , nor do they cry humbly .

We already seized them with the chastisement , yet they abased not themselves to their Lord nor were they humble

And assuredly We took hold of them with the torment , yet they humbled not themselves to their Lord , nor did they entreat .

And indeed We seized them with punishment , but they humbled not themselves to their Lord , nor did they invoke ( Allah ) with submission to Him .

We have already gripped them with suffering , but they did not surrender to their Lord , nor did they humble themselves .

( They are such ) that We seized them with chastisement ( and yet ) they did not humble themselves before their Lord , nor do they entreat

Already have We grasped them with punishment , but they humble not themselves unto their Lord , nor do they pray ,

We have already seized them with punishment , yet they did not humble themselves before their Lord , nor will they entreat Him for mercy

Already We have seized them with the punishment , but they neither humbled themselves to their Lord , nor did they beseech Him ,

And We had gripped them with suffering as a warning , but they did not yield to their Lord , nor did they humbly supplicate , and will continue thus

We struck them with torment , but they did not submit themselves to their Lord , nor did they make themselves humble

And already We overtook them with chastisement , but they were not submissive to their Lord , nor do they humble themselves .

We seized them with the punishment , but they did not surrender to their Lord , nor will they humble themselves

We inflicted Punishment on them , but they humbled not themselves to their Lord , nor do they submissively entreat ( Him ) !

And in many ways, I try to capture the mishaps it's the challenge in photography when these things all take place in a fraction of a second.

In this case, divine suffering serves as an exemplar of the selflesshumility with which earthly misfortunes should be endured.

After all, for all its other failings, colonialism provided the essential precondition of economic development peace and security.

It may be that the social singularity ahead is the one that we fear the most a convergence of catastrophes, of environmental degradation, of weapons of mass destruction, of pandemics, of poverty.

I know some people who say Well, you know there's just so much out there I can't do anything, I'm not going to even begin to try.

Europe s banking system remains sickly, even though many national governments have gone to great lengths to hide their banks woes.

One other very positive consequence of 20th century technology, though, was the way in which other kinds of calamities could lead to positive advances.

And, unlike Kobe, these calamities did affect Tokyo indirectly, fortunately where some 40 of Japan s industrial production is located.
