"How could I bow," said he, "before a mortal whom You created from fermented clay dried tingling hard?"

He answered, “It does not befit me to prostrate myself to a human whom You have created from sounding clay made out of black smelly mud.”

Said he, 'I would never bow myself before a mortal whom Thou hast created of a clay of mud moulded.'

[Iblis] replied: "It is not for me to prostrate myself before mortal man whom Thou hast created out of sounding clay, out of dark slime transmuted!"

He said it was not for me that should prostrate myself unto a human being whom Thou hast created from ringing clay of loam moulded.

He said, “I am not about to prostrate myself before a human being, whom You created from clay, from molded mud.”

[Iblis] said: "I am not one to prostrate myself to a human, whom You created from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud."

He said: I am not one to prostrate myself unto a mortal whom Thou hast created out of potter's clay of black mud altered!

Said he, ‘I will not prostrate before a human whom You have created out of a dry clay [drawn] from an aging mud.’

He replied: 'I will not prostrate to a mortal You have created of clay, from molded mud'

He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."

Iblis replied, "I did not want to prostrate before a human being whom You have created out of mud-moulded clay".

He said: I am not such that I should make obeisance to a mortal whom Thou hast created of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape.
