For, never would thy Sustainer destroy a community for wrong [beliefs alone] so long as its people behave righteously [towards one another].

Nor would thy Lord be the One to destroy communities for a single wrong- doing, if its members were likely to mend.

In truth thy Lord destroyed not the townships tyrannously while their folk were doing right.

And thy Lord would not destroy the towns unjustly, while their people acted well.

And your Lord would not have destroyed the cities unjustly while their people were reformers.
