But he could not scale the steep ascent.

So he did not quickly enter the steep valley.

Yet he has not assaulted the steep;

But he would not try to ascend the steep uphill road...

Yet he attempteth not the steep,

But he has made no effort to pass on the path that is steep.

But he did not brave the ascent.

But he did not brave the ascent.

But he did not brave the ascent.

But he did not brave the ascent.

If only they had attempted the challenging path ˹of goodness instead˺!

But he did not venture to scale the difficult steep.

But he has not attempted to pass on the path that is steep.

But he hath not attempted the Ascent -

Yet he has not embarked upon the uphill task.

Yet he has not scaled the height.

But he has not broken through the difficult pass.

Yet, he has not entered into Aqaba

But he would not attempt the uphill road,

Fala iqtahama alAAaqabata

falā iq'taḥama l-ʿaqabata

But he has not attempted the ascent.

But he hath made no haste on the path that is steep.
