34:10We bestowed upon David favor from Us: “O mountains, and birds: echo with him.” And We softened iron for him.

34:13They made for him whatever he wished: sanctuaries, statues, bowls like pools, and heavy cauldrons. “O House of David, work with appreciation,” but a few of My servants are appreciative.

34:16But they turned away, so We unleashed against them the flood of the dam; and We substituted their two gardens with two gardens of bitter fruits, thorny shrubs, and meager harvest.

34:23Intercession with Him is of no value, except for someone He has permitted. Until, when fear has subsided from their hearts, they will say, “What did your Lord say?” They will say, “The truth, and He is the High, the Great.”

34:34We sent no warner to any town, without its affluent saying, “We reject what you are sent with.”

34:39Say, “My Lord extends the provision to whomever He wills of His servants, or withholds it. Anything you spend, He will replace it. He is the Best of providers.”

34:54A barrier will be placed between them and what they desire, as was done formerly with their counterparts. They were in disturbing doubt.
