35:12The two seas are not the same. One is fresh, sweet, good to drink, while the other is salty and bitter. Yet from each you eat tender meat, and extract jewelry which you wear. And you see the ships plowing through them, so that you may seek of His bounty, so that you may give thanks.

35:40Say, “Have you considered those partners of yours that you worship instead of God? Show me what they have created on earth.
