If such a man, hearing the words of this oath, takes comfort in the thought that he will have peace even if he goes on in the pride of his heart, taking whatever chance may give him:

For they went and served other gods and worshiped them, [false] gods whom they have not known and whom He had not allotted (given) to them.
