they rejected Our communications and were heedless of them.

Y: Those who reject Our signs and the meeting in the Hereafter,- vain
are their deeds: Can they expect to be rewarded except as they have
wrought?

P: Those who deny Our revelations and the meeting of the Hereafter,
their works are fruitless. Are they requited aught save what they used
to do?

S: And (as to) those who reject Our communications and the meeting of
the hereafter, their deeds are null. Shall they be rewarded except for
what they have done?

Y: The people of Moses made, in his absence, out of their ornaments, the
image of calf, (for worship): it seemed to low: did they not see that
it could neither speak to them, nor show them the way? They took it for

my misfortune, nor count thou me amongst the people of sin."
P: And when Moses returned unto his people, angry and grieved, he said:
