Quran 2:16 — The Heifer (Al-Baqarah)

It is they who bought the straying, at the expense of guidance. Such trade never prospers, nor do they receive any guidance.

[2:15] GOD mocks them, and leads them on in their transgressions, blundering.

[2:17] Their example is like those who start a fire, then, as it begins to shed light around them, GOD takes away their light, leaving them in darkness, unable to see.
