Quote:And as he was constructing the ship, whenever the chiefs of his people passed by him, they made a mockery of him. He said: "If you mock at us, so do we mock at you likewise for your mocking.
I think the poetry and graceful writing of the quran must be lost in translation in this verse because it always sounds stupid to me and amuses me that in an argument someone would actually say "If you mock us we mock you likewise for your mocking" Smooth line.
Reminds me of this from sienfeld.

He actually means we will be mocking you when the flood comes and you guys drown and we survive..
