Then gain insight into our cause and ascertain what has come to us; then judge between us and our enemies with justice, and be among the just. And if you do not restrain the oppressor from his oppression and do not take the right of the wronged, then in what do you take pride among the servants and be among the boastful? Is your pride that you eat and drink and that adornments accumulate in your treasuries, or that you adorn yourselves with red and yellow stones, or with precious white pearls? Even if pride were in these perishing things, then the dust ought to boast over you, for it offers and spends upon you all of that from One Powerful and All-Determining. God has placed all of that in its belly and brings it forth for you of His bounty; so look into your state and what you take pride in, if you are of those who observe.
