^17:66 It is your Lord who drives the ship for you through the sea that you may seek of His bounty. Indeed, He is ever, to you, Merciful.  ⁶⁷ And when adversity touches you at sea, lost are ˹all˺ those you invoke except for Him. But when He delivers you to the land, you turn away ˹from Him˺. And ever is man ungrateful.  ⁶⁸ Then do you feel secure that ˹instead˺ He will not cause a part of the land to swallow you or send against you a storm of stones? Then you would not find for yourselves an advocate.  ⁶⁹ Or do you feel secure that He will not send you back into the sea another time and send upon you a hurricane of wind and drown you for what you denied? Then you would not find for yourselves against Us an avenger.  ⁷⁰ And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with ˹definite˺ preference.
