رِّزْقًا لِّلْعِبَادِۙ وَاَحْيَيْنَا بِهٖ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًاۗ كَذٰلِكَ الْخُرُوْجُ ( ق: ١١ )
As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the emergence [i.e., resurrection].

وَعَادٌ وَّفِرْعَوْنُ وَاِخْوَانُ لُوْطٍۙ ( ق: ١٣ )
And Aad and Pharaoh and the brothers [i.e., people] of Lot
وَّاَصْحٰبُ الْاَيْكَةِ وَقَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۗ كُلٌّ كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعِيْدِ ( ق: ١٤ )
And the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubba. All denied the messengers, so My threat was justly fulfilled.
اَفَعَيِيْنَا بِالْخَلْقِ الْاَوَّلِۗ بَلْ هُمْ فِيْ لَبْسٍ مِّنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيْدٍ ࣖ ( ق: ١٥ )
Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهٖ نَفْسُهٗ ۖوَنَحْنُ اَقْرَبُ اِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيْدِ ( ق: ١٦ )
And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein.

He [i.e., man] utters no word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].
وَجَاۤءَتْ سَكْرَةُ الْمَوْتِ بِالْحَقِّ ۗذٰلِكَ مَا كُنْتَ مِنْهُ تَحِيْدُ ( ق: ١٩ )
And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid.
وَنُفِخَ فِى الصُّوْرِۗ ذٰلِكَ يَوْمُ الْوَعِيْدِ ( ق: ٢٠ )
And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat.
