His people said to him, “O Lot! If you do not stop forbidding us from this act and rebuking us over it, you and those with you shall be exiled from our city.”
They said, “O Lot, If you do not desist, you will surely be expelled.”
They said: "If you cease not O Lût (Lot)! verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!"
They said: If thou cease not, O Lot, thou wilt soon be of the outcast.
They said: "If thou desist not, O Lut! thou wilt assuredly be cast out!"
They said: If you desist not, O Lut! you shall surely be of those who are expelled.
They said, "Indeed in case you do not refrain, O Lût, indeed you will definitely be of the driven out."
وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓا۟ أَخْرِجُوهُم مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ

They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned."
