Quran 9:109
أَفَمَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ تَقْوَىٰ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضْوَٰنٍ خَيْرٌ أَم مَّنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَٱنْهَارَ بِهِۦ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
| EnglishTalal Itani | Is he who founds his structure upon piety and acceptance from Allah better, or he who founds his structure on the brink of a cliff that is about to tumble, so it tumbles with him into the Fire of Hell? Allah does not guide the unjust people. |

| EnglishPickthall, 1930 | Is he who founded his building upon duty to Allah and His good pleasure better; or he who founded his building on the brink of a crumbling, overhanging precipice so that it toppled with him into the fire of hell? Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. |
| TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935 | O halde binasını Allah korkusu ve Allah rızası üzerine kurmuş olan mı hayırlıdır, yoksa binasını seyl bıçığında sarkan bir yarın kenarına kurup da onunla beraber cehenneme yuvarlanan mı? Allah zalimler güruhunu hidayete erdirmez |
| FrenchKazimirski, 1840 | Lequel des deux vaut mieux ; est-ce celui qui a établi les fondements d’un temple sur la crainte de Dieu et sur le désir de lui plaire, ou celui qui les a assis sur un escarpement d’argile miné par un torrent, et prêt à s’écrouler avec lui dans le feu de la géhenne ? Dieu ne conduit pas les méchants. |
| DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French | Is dus hij beter, die zijn gebouw op Gods vrees heeft gesticht en om hem te behagen, of hij, die zijn gebouw heeft gesticht op den rand van eene zandbank, die door de wateren wordt weggespoeld, zoodat die met hem in het hellevuur stort? God leidt de goddeloozen niet. |
| ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French | Chi è più giusto colui che ha stabilito le fondamenta di un tempio sul timore di Dio, e sul desiderio di piacergli, ovvero colui che le ha piantate sopra un pendio di argilla minata da un torrente, e vicino a precipitarsi con esso nel fuoco dell’inferno? Dio non conduce i malvagi. |
