(٢٤) ﴿ يَا ابْنَ الإِنْسانِ ﴾
لَا تَتَعَدَّ عَنْ حَدِّكَ وَلا تَدَّعِ مَا لَا يَنْبَغِي لِنَفْسِكَ، اسْجُدْ لِطَلْعَةِ رَبِّكَ ذِي الْقُدْرَةِ وَالإِقْتِدَارِ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
(24) O SON OF MAN!
Transgress not thy limits, nor claim that which beseemeth thee not. Prostrate thyself before the countenance of thy God, the Lord of might and power.
