17. Al-Isra (The Night Journey): 37

Do not strut arrogantly about the earth: you cannot break it open, nor match the mountains in height. (Abdul Haleem)


And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height. (Saheeh International)


And do not walk upon the earth with insolence: for thou cannot rend the earth asunder, nor reach the mountains in height. (Yusuf Ali)


And walk not on earth with haughty self-conceit: for, verily, thou canst never rend the earth asunder, nor canst thou ever grow as tall as the mountains! (Muhammad Asad)


And do not walk on the earth arrogantly. Surely you can neither crack the earth nor stretch to the height of the mountains. (Mustafa Khattab)


And do not strut about the land with insolence: Surely you cannot cleave the earth, nor attain the height of mountains in stature. (Ahmed Ali)


Do not walk on earth with pride. Neither could you bore through the earth, nor could you become as tall as the mountains. [The body language speaks louder than words. 3:187, 31:19, 40:75] (Shabbir Ahmed)
