Moses prayed: "Our Lord! Thou hast indeed bestowed on Pharaoh and his chiefs splendour and wealth in the life of the present, and so, Our Lord, they mislead (men) from Thy Path. Deface our Lord, the features of their wealth, and send hardness to their hearts, so they will not believe until they see the grievous penalty."

穆萨说：“我们的主啊！你把各种装饰品和今世生活的各种财产给予法老和他的贵族们--我们的主啊！--以致他们使民众背离你的大道。我们的主啊！求你毁掉他们的财产，求你封闭他们的心。但愿他们不信道，直到看见痛苦的刑罚。”
