And as for when He tests him by restricting his sustenance, he thinks it is because of his insignificance in the eyes of his Lord. So he says: “My Lord has disgraced me.”

Other translations of verse 16

But when he is tested by restricting his provision, he says, “My Lord has [undeservedly] humiliated me!”

But when He tries him by straitening his means of life, he says: "My Lord has humiliated me!"

But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me.

But when He trieth him, restricting his subsistence for him, then saith he (in despair), "My Lord hath humiliated me!"

But when He tries him (differently), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me.

And just when He tries him, so He determines for him the right estimate of his provision, then he says, "My Lord has degraded me."
