( 178 ) Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
( 179 ) So fear Allah and obey me.
( 180 ) And I do not ask you for it any payment (compensation). My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

( 182 ) And weigh with an even balance.
( 183 ) And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.
