And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?"

And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?"

And he hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away?

And he strikes out a likeness for Us and forgets his own creation. Says he: Who will give life to bones, when they are rotten?

And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?"
