وَضَرَبَ
ٱللَّهُ
مَثَلًۭا
قَرْيَةًۭ
كَانَتْ
ءَامِنَةًۭ
مُّطْمَئِنَّةًۭ
يَأْتِيهَا
رِزْقُهَا
رَغَدًۭا
مِّن
كُلِّ
مَكَانٍۢ
فَكَفَرَتْ
بِأَنْعُمِ
ٱللَّهِ
فَأَذَٰقَهَا
ٱللَّهُ
لِبَاسَ
ٱلْجُوعِ
وَٱلْخَوْفِ
بِمَا
كَانُوا۟
يَصْنَعُونَ

God presents the example of a town that was secure and at ease, with provisions coming to it abundantly from all places. Then it became ungrateful for God’s blessings, so God afflicted it with the garment of famine and fear, for what its people had done.
